Comments & Discussion
In this photo you can see the snow is being pushed up around the sign. This is likely how all of the damage to this sign occurred in the early 2000s.
This is at least the 9th sign on Loveland Pass that can be counted in the sequence going back approx. 100 years. This sign would last another 2 years until it would be almost completely destroyed in 2007.
