Geography

Bond is located at 39°52′27″N 106°41′15″W / 39.87417°N 106.68750°W / 39.87417; -106.68750 (39.874175,-106.687374),^[2] 133 miles (214 kilometers) west of Denver at an elevation of 6,600 feet (2,000 meters). It is located on the Colorado River, and is at the southern terminus of the Colorado River Headwaters National Scenic Byway.^[3]

Railroad

Bond was originally served by the never finished Denver and Salt Lake Railroad as a midpoint to the railroad's eventual terminus in Craig, Colorado. Bond was the closest point of the rail line to the nearest through line, the Denver and Rio Grande Western's (D&RGW) line which passed through Dotsero about 40 miles (64 km) downstream. After the D&RGW purchased the rights to connect the two lines, with the intent of having a more direct connection to Denver, Bond became the north end of the Dotsero Cutoff of the D&RGW's main line, with the tracks from Bond to Craig becoming a spur line.^[4] Bond remained a stop on the Denver and Rio Grande Western's passenger trains until their last train, the Rio Grande Zephyr was discontinued in 1983.

Climate

This climate type is dominated by the winter season, a long, bitterly cold period with short, clear days, relatively little precipitation mostly in the form of snow, and low humidity. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Bond has a subarctic climate, abbreviated "Dfc" on climate maps.^[5]
