Camp Hale, a former U.S. Army facility near Leadville, Colorado was constructed in 1942 for what became the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division and provided an excellent environment for cold weather and high altitude training. On October 12, 2022, President Joe Biden designated Camp Hale and a noncontiguous nearby part of the Tenmile Range as Camp Hale - Continental Divide National Monument. It comprises 53,804 acres (84 sq mi; 218 km2), which will be managed by the White River National Forest unit of the U.S. Forest Service.
