  • Colorado Byways Strategic Plan 2017
    Strategic Plan for the Colorado Scenic and Historic Byways Commission It is with great pleasure and pride that the Colorado Scenic and Historic Byway Commissioners present our Strategic Plan to support the next three years of the program’s vision. The Colorado Scenic and Historic Byways program isn’t just a list of roads connecting one place to another. The 26 Byways have been carefully selected by the Commissioners to awe, instruct, delight, inform, physically challenge, soothe, and bolster the physical and spiritual health of the thousands of travelers who traverse Colorado’s chosen trails. There isn’t one formula that defines a Colorado Byway, but when you are driving, cycling, or walking on one of these routes you feel a “wow” factor that can’t be denied. Whether you are an outdoor recreationist, history buff, nature lover, tourist, or conservationist, you will recog- nize the work of devoted locals who share their bounty with you through resource stewardship. And that devotion is paid back to the local businesses, non-profits, and local citizens through renewed pride in their resources, community coalescence, and economic development. For the immediate future, the Commissioners want to chart innovative ways to support and guide Colorado’s Scenic and Historic Byways. Please join us in celebrating past accomplish- ments and envisioning new journeys.

  • Viewshed of Analysis of Native American Sacred Landscapes
    Viewshed Analysis of Native American Sacred Landscapes Dr. David M. Diggs, Dr. Robert Brunswig, and Sara Jo Lambert Departments of Geography and Anthropology University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO Abstract. Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), USA, is rich in Native American sites, many believed to have served religious purposes. Field and consultation data have been incorporated into successive generations of a Geographic Information System (GIS) project designed to model and predict the spatial distribution of sacred sites and ritual features believed to have constituted long-lost landscapes. In recent iterations of the RMNP sacred landscape modeling research, a Weights-of-Evidence site location predictive model was developed. This model showed the strong influence of the relative visibility of five sacred landmarks. This paper uses multi-feature and multi-landmark viewshed analysis techniques to evaluate the relative and absolute visibility of the above mentioned five landmarks. Landmarks are assessed both individually, in total, and in strength of visibility. The research suggests that both strength of visibility and total number of landmarks visible are strongly associated with the location of sacred features. Introduction Since 1998 the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) has conducted archaeological surveys and research in Rocky Mountain National Park. Early results of these interrelated projects suggested that many of these sites had been associated with past ritual/ceremonial activities (Brunswig 2003). This was supported by earlier research that had identified areas within and just outside the park boundaries that were known or thought to be sacred landmarks to Arapahoe, Ute, and other Native American groups (see for example discussions in Benedict 1985; McBeth 2007; Toll 2003).
