Discover the rich heritage of the Arapaho people, who once roamed these lands with grace and resilience. In a time long ago, Native American hunters would cleverly disguise themselves in wolf-skins, blending seamlessly with their surroundings as they ventured into the wilderness. Captured beautifully by George de Forest Brush in 'An Arapahoe Boy' from 1882, we catch a glimpse of the strength and spirit that defined this tribe. As you explore the breathtaking landscapes along Mount Evans Scenic and Historic Byway in Colorado, let your gaze be captured by nature's wonders. Witness the ethereal beauty of Echo Lake at sunset on June 15th, 2021 - a moment where sky meets water in perfect harmony. Look west from Mount Evans for an awe-inspiring view that stretches beyond imagination on that same day. Immerse yourself further into this natural wonderland as you encounter ancient bristlecone pines within Mount Evans Wilderness Area. Their twisting branches tell tales of centuries past, standing tall against time's relentless passage. On June 14th and 15th, 2021 respectively, witness their stoic presence amidst rocky terrain. But it is not only trees that inhabit these rugged mountains; wildlife thrives here too. Observe Rocky Mountain goats seeking essential minerals on June 16th atop Mount Evans Wilderness Area - their mouths adorned with salt deposits acquired during their quest for sustenance. These majestic creatures find solace upon ledges or come together to survey their kingdom from lofty heights. As we marvel at these sights today, let us remember and honor those who have called this land home since time immemorial - the Arapaho people whose legacy lives on through stories whispered by nature itself.
