LONG BEFORE THE CATTLEMEN, THE HOMESTEADERS, THE MINERS, OR EVEN THE SPANISH ARRIVED, COLORADO¹S UNCOMPAHGRE PLATEAU WAS THE SUMMER HOME OF THE TABEGUACHE UTE INDIANS. MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THE UTES HUNTED AND HOMESTEADERS MADE THEIR CLAIMS HERE. WHAT HAS NOT CHANGED IS THE DELIGHT OF WAKING TO SONGBIRDS, THE SPLENDOR OF THE MOUNTAINS AT SUNSET AND THE WONDER OF SLEEPING UNDER A MILLION STARS.
