Ute Indians: Culturally Modified Trees

August 10th at 6:00 pm

TOUR GUIDES: John W. Anderson, author, artist, historian has lived in the Pikes Region since 1956 and was the 26th Sheriff of El Paso County. John grew up on the family ranch in eastern El Paso County and has always been fascinated with Native American history. After the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest fires, John sought to become the voice of education, appreciation and preservation of the Ute Prayer Trees. He is the author of the book Ute Prayer Trees of the Pikes Peak Region.

TOUR COORDINATOR: Becky Rohr

THE TOUR: The Ute Indians (indigenous people of the Pikes Peak Region) skillfully modified trees for navigational, spiritual, burial, medicinal, nutritional, and educational purposes. Throughout the Pikes Peak Region such trees abound (over 2,000 have been mapped). These “twisted” trees are sacred living artifacts the Utes left behind and many can be found in Fox Run Regional Park.

NOTE: The tour begins at 6:00 PM, registration begins at 5:30.

Handicap Access Info: This tour follows along groomed trails with some off-trail walking

Restrooms located at trailhead.
