Another Pot Site, Now Cottonwood Pass Road

Another major marijuana grow site has popped up in the Roaring Fork Valley area. Eagle County officials say many plants were found near Cottonwood Pass. About a thousand plants were on private property, located approximately twenty minutes from El Jebel. The land is unincorporated Eagle County, so that sheriff’s office has destroyed the greenery and growing equipment. 

Sheriff’s Spokeswoman Jessie Mosher says its happened before.

“You know it’s not completely uncommon that we find marijuana grows. We had a couple last year, where we had individuals who were out either on hikes or walks or even just driving that have located them.”

But this is the biggest one so far. The site was found the same day the Forest Service destroyed another grow site, one much bigger and near Reudi Reservoir.
