With little experience in the natural sciences but with a Ph. D. in Mathematics from the University of Kentucky, Atkins quickly adjusted to the topics and topography of Rocky Mountain National Park. Working each summer between 1952 through 1984, Atkins spent many hours in the park's library diligently researching the rich history of the park and surrounding areas. During his tenure, Atkins lead interpretive hiking and horseback tours, slide programs, alpine and photo caravans, fishing demonstrations, and occasionally assisted with law enforcement duties.

    Hiking in the Kawuneeche Valley Rocky Mountain

    National Park Rocky Mountain National Park Service Hiking in the Kawuneeche Valley Adams Falls (East Inlet Trailhead) This easy 1/3 mile hike leads to a small, pleasant waterfall. If you wish to go further, past the falls, you will come to a large, grassy, glaciated valley with a river running through it. Moose are sometimes sighted in this valley. Many types of wildflowers are found in this area. (79’gain) Cascade Falls (North Inlet Trailhead) Photogenic Cascade Falls is 3.4 miles into the North Inlet trail. This easy hike passes through an open meadow where marmots are often found, and by a river that winds through a lodgepole pine forest. Fishing is good for small brook trout and an occasional brown trout. Allow about 3-4 hours for hiking this trail. (300’gain) Lulu City (Colorado River Trailhead) A flowered field is all that remains of this once booming mining town. Pass by the remains of log cabins and look for tailings from Shipler Mine about 2 miles into the trail. The trail parallels the Colorado River and passes meadows on this easy to moderately difficult 7.4-mile round trip hike. (350’gain) Lulu City/Yellowstone Loop (Colorado River Trailhead) After passing Shipler’s cabins, you will come to a sign that will designate Lulu City to the left and Little Yellowstone to the right. Stay right at the Y. Follow the trail all the way to the Grand Ditch. Little Yellowstone is a miniature version of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, formed of stark gray volcanic rock.

Richard Quin, HAER Historian, August 1993 TRAIL RIDGE ROAD HAER NO. CO-31 (page 2) II. HISTORY The highest road in the national park system, and the highest continuous paved highway in the United States, the Trail Ridge Road is the principal highway crossing Rocky Mountain National Park between the park border communities of Estes Park and Grand Lake. The road was constructed largely between 1929 and 1932 to replace the Fall River Road; after its completion, the western portion of the old road was abandoned, and the eastern segment became a one-way uphill road.
