Along with impacts on the Monument, she also considered the impact on Glade Park residents: "Allowing commercial events of this nature “are not at the heart of what the national parks are about,” she said. Race proponents disagree, and point to the Coors Classic bike races that took place in Colorado National Monument during the 1980s as precedent for allowing the Quiznos bike race. Times and circumstances have changed since then however, Anzelmo said. The east side of Rim Rock Drive is now a right-a-way for Glade Park residents. And in 1994, the road was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The park's wildlife, birds, and other natural and cultural resources including recent paleontology discoveries could all be negatively impacted by the aircraft and large numbers of spectators the event would draw, Anzelmo said. “Our primary mission, given by Congress, is to protect park resources and serve the visiting public,” she said."

Dec 8, 2010 Get your Christmas tree cutting permits at the Glade Park StoreAs a child growing up on Glade Park it was part of the Christmas season to go on a family expedition to find the right Christmas tree. It was not always as perfectly formed as the spruce trees on Christmas tree lots. But it was wonderfully fresh smelling, and held the memories of the outing that brought it to our living room. That experience is still available. Christmas tree cutting permits are available at the Glade Park store. Be sure to be well prepared for a winter outing. Here is a link to the BLM page that gives the ground rules, and some helpful tips.
