camp hale

Camp Hale, between Red Cliff and Leadville in the Eagle River valley in Colorado, was a United States Army training facility constructed in 1942 for what became the 10th Mountain Division. It was named in honor of General Irving Hale. Soldiers were trained in mountain climbing, skiing and cold-weather survival. When it was in full operation, approximately 16,000 soldiers were housed there. From 1959 to 1965, Tibetan guerillas were secretly trained at Camp Hale by the CIA.

In 1965, Camp Hale was dismantled and the land was deeded to the United States Forest Service. In 2003, there was a cleanup effort to remove some of the unexploded ordnance at the site.
