• Colorado National Park

  1. Parks.state.co.us

Cheyenne Mountain State Park is located in Colorado Springs, west of Highway 115 at the base of Cheyenne Mountain. The park consists of 1,680 land acres. Colorado State Parks acquired the land in June of 2000.

Master planning for the park was completed early in 2004. Phase one construction began in November 2004.  This phase entails carving out roadways, installing utilities as well as constructing a trailhead parking lot. Work on this phase is ongoing at this time.

Architectural design work for the park Visitor Center is now complete, and staff hopes to bid construction of this building, as well as the entrance station and trailhead comfort station, soon. Additionally, more trail work is planned for the future with several efforts by Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, the Colorado Youth Corps, as well as local mountain biking club, Medicine Wheel, completed this past summer. To date, approximately 16.5 miles of natural surface hiking & biking trails have now been constructed at the park.  Colorado State Parks hopes to open Cheyenne Mountain State Park sometime in 2006.  It is our hope to open the trails  for use as soon as possible while the Visitor Center and other park amenities are being constructed.

Colorado National Monument preserves one of the grand landscapes of the American West. Sheer-walled canyons, towering monoliths, colorful formations, desert bighorn sheep, soaring eagles, and a spectacular road reflect the environment and history of the plateau-and-canyon country. Historic Rim Rock Drive offers 23 miles of breathtaking panoramic views and numerous overlooks. Trails lead across mesa tops and to spectacular overlooks or into backcountry canyons. Picnicking and camping are available. At an average elevation of 6,000 feet at the rim, the climate is relatively mild but can change rapidly to snow or summer storms.

Apache (probably from ápachu, 'enemy,' the Zuñi name for the Navaho, who were designated "Apaches de Nabaju" by the early Spaniards in New Mexico). A number of tribes forming the most southerly group of the Athapascan family. The name has been applied also to some unrelated Yuman tribes, as the Apache Mohave (Yavapai) and Apache Yuma.

  2. www.azcentral.com 

We are from four different tribal groups: Chemehuevi, Hopi, Mohave and Navajo. Spirit Mountain is our Mohave place of emergence, and the lands along the Colorado River are our home. In the past we hunted, fished and farmed the rich land next to the river. After gold was discovered in 1848, many people passed through our land on their way to California. The U.S. government established a reservation in 1865 for "Indians of the Colorado River and its tributaries." They were planning to move other tribal groups to our reservation
