“…This section of the report is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to present geologic factors that have historically led to hazards or damage when they were ignored. Much of the information in this section regarding landslides and expansive soils is summarized from a 2004 field-trip guide covering environmental geology of the Denver metropolitan area (Abbott and Noe, 2004) and from several papers referenced in that guide. The Colorado Geological Survey has also published several papers and booklets on geologic hazards that are especially pertinent (Soule and others, 1976;Noe, 1997;Noe and Dodson, 1997;Noe andothers, 1997, 1999).…”

Photograph looking east from Rockhole Lake in the Rawah Wilderness down the West Branch Laramie River as it descends steeply eastward to the north-flowing upper Laramie River. High upland areas in the foreground expose granite of the Rawah batholith (XgR) with glacial till of Pinedale age (Qtp) filling the valley below. The southern end of Green Ridge, capped by a gently sloping erosion surface below the skyline, is visible just beyond the mouth of the valley. This ridge, formed by the Laramie River fault zone, separates the Laramie River drainage to the west from the Cache la Poudre River drainage to the east. South Bald Mountain is visible on the skyline to the left with Crown Point visible on the skyline to the right. The Cache la Poudre River flows east, away from view through a deep, inset canyon between these two high points below the skyline.
