Description
This is a high rock canyon wall in northern Colorado’s Red Mountain Open Space as seen from the bottom of Bent Rock Canyon near Sand Creek.
In the first quarter of the 1800's, French-Canadian trappers traveled through Red Mountain Open Space, heading south to Bent’s Old Fort. They traded items such as blue beads with small bands of Arapaho Indians who over-wintered in the sheltered valley along the “bahah haiahah,” or Red Rock Road. Located along the border of Wyoming and Colorado, Red Mountain Open Space is an area of deep crimson and tan rocks, rolling grasslands and sandy washes. People have lived in the area for more than 12,000 years, taking advantage of the abundant natural resources found there.
Red Mountain Open Space, encompassing about 15,000 acres, is located about 25 miles north of Fort Collins and is part of the Laramie Foothills Mountains to Plains Project which protects more than 55,000 total acres of ecologically and culturally diverse landscape. The biodiversity is extremely high, and this area, where the foothills and plains meet, features some plant communities that are globally rare.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
