  • Sand Creek Massacre NHS L
    Park News National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Sand Creek Massacre NHS Summel r, 2004 Site Update and Historical Background Welcome to the second Sand Creek Massacre NHS newsletter. In this issue, Park Ranger Craig Moore continues the historical and biographical sketches of some of the many people who have been in one way or another associated with the Sand Creek Massacre and who connect its legacy to the present day. The Sand Creek staff continues to give many public programs to schools, historical societies, civic organizations, and other grourps. Staff is also researching archives and photo collections, and most importantly, visiting with descendents of those who were there on the Big Sandy Creek on November 29, 1864, recording genealogical information and collecting family photos. One article summarizes the Cheyenne and Arapaho oral history projects that were major components of the Sand Creek Massacre Site Location Study in 1999 and that continue as ongoing efforts among the tribes today. The historical memory passed from one generation to the next provides a deep pool of knowledge that will help guide the National Historic Site’s planning and management efforts as the site becomes established. Currently, together with the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, other federal, state, and local agencies, and local landowners, the NPS is working with various researchers to understand what the site area looked like in 1864 and how has it changed since then; how to prevent fire and manage it should it occur; how to manage the short grass prairie without cattle for the first time in more than a century; how to make the site accessible to the public after the formal establishment occurs, and many other issues.

  • Spanish Peaks Wilderness
    Mt. Bierstadt Field Trip Trip date: 6/17/2006 Ralph Swain, USFS R2 Wilderness Program Manager Observations: 1). The parking lot was nearly full (approximately 35 + vehicles) at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning. I observed better-than-average compliance with the dog on leash regulation. Perhaps this was due to my Forest Service truck being at the entrance to the parking lot and the two green Forest Service trucks (Dan and Tom) in the lot! 2). District Ranger Dan Lovato informed us of the District’s intent to only allow 40 vehicles in the lower parking lot. Additional vehicles will have to drive to the upper parking lot. This was new information for me and I’m currently checking in with Steve Priest of the South Platte Ranger District to learn more about the parking situation at Mt. Bierstadt. 3). I observed users of all types and abilities hiking the 14er. Some runners, 14 parties with dogs (of which 10 were in compliance with the dog-leash regulation), and a new- born baby being carried to the top by mom and dad (that’s a first for me)! Management Issues: 1). Capacity issue: I counted 107 people on the hike, including our group of 14 people. The main issue for Mt. Bierstadt, being a 14er hike in a congressionally designated wilderness, is a social issue of how many people are appropriate? Thinking back to Dr. Cordell’s opening Forum discuss on demographic trends and the growth coming to the west, including front-range Denver, the use on Mt.

  • SCEDD OVERVIEW of SUB-REGION #2 SOUTH CENTRAL HUERFANO and LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES Geography the South-Central Sub-Region Includes the Counties of Huerfano and Las Animas
    Southern Colorado Economic Development District * 2021 CEDS SCEDD OVERVIEW OF SUB-REGION #2 SOUTH CENTRAL HUERFANO AND LAS ANIMAS COUNTIES Geography The South-Central sub-region includes the counties of Huerfano and Las Animas. Las Animas County is located at the southernmost border of Colorado and New Mexico with Huerfano County located north of Trinidad and south of Pueblo. The sub-region signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Colfax County, New Mexico to develop and implement an economic development strategy for the multi-county region, one that strategically builds on the current and emerging economic strengths of Raton Basin Regional Economic Development (RED). Opportunity Zones exist in the area. All of Las Animas County east of I-25 is an Opportunity Zone. The entire City of Walsenburg is located in an Opportunity Zone along with a several mile radius around the city. South Central Sub-Region Las Animas County is the largest county in the state of Colorado and the fifth largest in the nation with 4,772 square miles. The City of Trinidad, at 6,025 feet in elevation, with 300 days of sunshine, and charming brick streets, the area is very welcoming to visitors and retirees. Travelers from the south along the I-25 corridor get their first glimpse of Colorful Colorado with the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range to the west and the Comanche National Grasslands to the east. The area boasts three lakes located in two State Parks, which provide excellent fishing, water activities, camp sites, and RV accommodations. The Pike/San Isabel National Forest has a strong presence in Huerfano County with a smaller footprint in Las Animas County.
