When it comes to those we meet about Rollins Pass and the Moffat Tunnel, there are those who are our friends and those who will soon be our friends.
CONTACTING US ABOUT THE ROAD STATUS OR WITH A GENERAL ROLLINS PASS QUESTION?
Looking for the latest status of the Rollins Pass (Corona Pass) road? We provide the most up-to-date information on our Rollins Pass (Corona Pass) Road Status page, updated every week—often daily—including live updates from the pass using cellular or satellite internet.
Due to the high volume of phone and email inquiries we receive, especially during the summer months, and the fact that we’re frequently in the field or on conference calls, we kindly ask that you consult the Road Status page rather than calling for an update. It contains everything we know in real time and reflects the most current information available.

RECOGNIZED SECTION 106 CONSULTING PARTY FOR UNDERTAKINGS AFFECTING THE ROLLINS PASS & MOFFAT TUNNEL CORRIDOR
Contacting Us About a Rollins Pass or Moffat Tunnel Area Undertaking?
Preserve Rollins Pass—led by B. Travis Wright, MPS, and working in coordination with the Grand County Historical Association and other preservation partners—has served as a Section 106 consulting party on multiple federal undertakings affecting the Rollins Pass region. This role is grounded in federal regulations, which recognize individuals and organizations with a demonstrated scholarly or preservation interest in historic properties likely to be affected (§800.2(c)(5)), as well as those with a record of substantive participation in past consultations.
We bring deep institutional knowledge of the area’s transportation and preservation histories, rooted in original research, extensive fieldwork, published works, and formal participation in past Section 106 undertakings. Our understanding of the region’s archaeological and tribal significance comes through direct lines to qualified experts and representatives with longstanding ties to these resources. Mr. Wright has worked directly with federal agencies, tribal representatives, archaeologists, and state historic preservation offices; he has also contributed to mitigation planning and received a State Honor Award for his historic preservation efforts.
We also support public interpretation efforts and can assist agencies in communicating the historical dimensions of their projects to broader audiences—enhancing transparency and public understanding where appropriate. While we are not a tribal entity, we recognize the importance of tribal consultation and support respectful coordination in undertakings that may affect traditional cultural properties or ancestral lands.
Early engagement with us can reduce the risk of unanticipated delays, help identify potential adverse effects, and strengthen the defensibility of agency decisions. If discretion is needed during preliminary planning, we are willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to facilitate open, good-faith conversations while details are still being finalized.
Preserve Rollins Pass is here to help—early coordination creates better outcomes for everyone involved. Please direct inquiries to: authors@preserverollinspass.org
ROLLINS PASS AND THE MOFFAT TUNNEL ARE OUR PASSIONS
We love talking anything related to Rollins Pass (Corona Pass, Boulder Pass, South Boulder Pass, Dart Pass, Rollinsville Pass) as well as the Moffat Tunnel at any time. We call Fraser home and enjoy meeting folks over a cup of coffee—any time of day, or virtual coffee on Zoom or Microsoft Teams if it is more convenient.
We also enjoy meeting on or atop the pass year-round… and sometimes our meetings aren’t scheduled: we have treated families to hot pizza while they waited for a tow truck in an area of Rollins Pass that doesn’t have cell signal, given groups of bicyclists our reserve water from the back of our truck, shuttled stranded motorists back to town, or opened our lunch kits to those who needed additional calories or protein to get over the pass and through their day. We also share stories, take family photographs, roll the cameras for groups of snowmobilers, help look for lost dogs, answer historical questions, advise on closure areas, contribute to academic projects, homeschool studies, and capstone research, suggest scenic vistas to honor ancestors, provide directions, and sometimes tuck complimentary signed books under windshield wipers of out of state vehicles parked on the pass.

ARE YOU REQUESTING A LINK ADDITION TO OUR WEBSITE?
Preserve Rollins Pass is committed to maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, credibility, and reliability across all topics we cover. To achieve this, we only include links to authoritative sources such as academic institutions, government agencies, and research organizations. We do not link to personal websites or commercial entities unless the individual has been extensively peer-reviewed in their field and their work is widely recognized by subject matter experts. Additionally, we prioritize institutional sources over non-expert or general-interest websites. For example, rather than linking to a retail or hobbyist website for specialized scientific information, we would reference a university research department or government agency to ensure the information is sourced from experts in the field. This policy applies across all disciplines, from historical preservation to environmental science, ensuring that every topic we present is backed by verifiable, expert-reviewed sources. By maintaining this standard, we reinforce the integrity of our advocacy and provide a trustworthy resource for those seeking accurate information.
