Christine Fear posing at the Red Cliff Arch Bridge upright. The sign behind her directs traffic to Red Cliff and Shrine Pass (left) or to Leadville and Buena Vista continuing on U.S. Highway 24. Christine and her friend, Mary Eleanor Vigil, were riding bicycles (seen in background) around the "loop:" up the high road, across the bridge, down Hwy 24 to Homestake Canyon and back into town. It was safe to bike or ride this route and many women used it as a good walk for weight control. Christine said she could remember riding her bike to Gilman and back. -- Angela Beck
