1. The Archaeological Assessment of the Berthoud Pass Corridor project has been completed. The project was funded by the Colorado State Historical Fund and took 3 ½ years to complete. The PAW Director, Carol Hunter, did the work. She had assistance from the U. S. Forest Service Archeologist, Sue Struthers, and several teams of students from the Colorado School of Mines EPICS Department who helped map many of the sites found on both sides of Berthoud Pass.
2. PAW’s Board of Directors and Partners are currently working on reviewing the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that created the Berthoud Pass Research Corridor for Universal Design. In the new MOU, the name will be changed to the Berthoud Pass Educational Corridor for Universal Design.   Partners will be asked to renew their commitment to the long-term goals of the Corridor. This will also be the time that new partners who have been interested in joining the Corridor will be invited to join. It is hoped that the new document can be ready in time for the U. S. Forest Service and other government partners to review it and participate in the signing on June 23, 2008 – PAW’s 20^th Anniversary.
3. The largest project that PAW is currently working on is finishing the Master Plan for the Corridor.  The Colorado School of Mines EPICS Department students will create the needed maps.  Each partner will have a section of the Master Plan to state their commitment to the Corridor and how they will participate in meeting the long-range goals of the Corridor.
4. PAW and our partners have also begun the process of asking our Colorado representatives to assist in the process of having the Berthoud Pass Wagon Road designated a National Educational Trail by Congress. Like Gary’s Trail, which was used for education on the earlier 1994 trail guidelines,  the wagon road will be used to explain the requirements of the new Architectural and Transportation Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Guidelines for Outdoor Developed Areas requirements for trails by using them in the restoration of the wagon road.
5. To challenge the U. S. Forest Service to find creative ways in their designs and construction of the new Continental Divide Trail visitor area and trail sections on the top of Berthoud Pass.
