TRAIL Ridge road offers magnificent scenery and thrilling Colorado highway adventure BY D1cK BELLEW AND Bos ARRENDALE ITH national forests covering more than a Wfifth of the state, with a mountain area six times that of Switzerland, Colorado offers the mo t magnificent variety of scenic topography to be found anywhere in the worlp. In this many-splen­ dored setting, in a healthy and invigorating cli­ mate, and at any time of the year, there is an adventure, a sport, or a marvel of nature to enjoy. The saga of the Early West is trail-marked across these millions of acres of rugged terrain. Relics of that colorful era, from Indian arrow­ heads to gho t towns, are scattered at the site of old wars and along trails carved by explorer , trappers, prospectors, and others, wending their ways Westward in the 1840!" and '50s. Fascinating ruins of ancient civilizations, such as are to be found at Mesa Verde, to the awe­ inspiring Garden of the Gods at the foot of Pike's Peak, where Indians performed their most sacred rites-all are part of the intrigue of this region abounding with color and mystery. Dude-ranching with pack-trips into the mountain wilderness, 13,000 miles of open, unposted trout streams, and 2,000 lake , open for fishing in any season; hundreds of ski-runs, for both winter and summer sport, mountain golf courses, and an abundance of good hunting, make this "Switzer­ FROM the Cliff Pala ce of Mesa Verde can be seen land of America" a rich playground for the out­ a rock canyon that cuts through the preserve. doorsman. 4 Copied from an original at The History Center. www.TheHistoryCenterOnline.com 2013:023 STEflMBOflT SPRINGS, pictured from atop a toboggan run, is a famous winter sports area Every mile of Colorado holds historic interest, beauty and romance, and no end of challenge for the sportsman. Boat races through dangerous rapids, sailing two miles above sea-level, and ski­ ing on live glaciers are some of the more spectacu­ lar events occurring throughout the year. The season for colorful pageants and festivals is end­ less. More than three hundred such events, re-living the early history of Colorado, take place each year. Well-engineered roads have conquered the rugged mountain ranges to provide safe and pleas­ ant driving, but the off-trail adventure lures many. But the West is not all wild and woolly. Modern resorts and gracious living inter-change with Western rusticity, and background music varies from the strum of a cowboy's guitar to the classics. The magnificent Red Rocks Outdoor Theater west of Denver features the world's finest concert artists throughout the summer season. Fabulous Central City brings famous Metropolitan Opera stars to appear in its historic old stone opera house, the center of attraction in this one-time ghost mining town.
