Camp Hale, located in Red Cliff, Colorado, was a training facility for the United States Army during World War II, specifically for the renowned 10th Mountain Division. Soldiers were trained in mountaineering, skiing, and cold weather survival, with the camp accommodating up to 16,000 troops at its peak.
After its closure in 1964, Camp Hale was transferred to the United States Forest Service and later became a site for outdoor youth development programs. In 2022, the area was designated as a national monument by President Biden, preserving its historical significance and natural beauty for future generations to enjoy.
