Ute Pass

This is a highly picturesque place with several springs, still and effervescing, the virtues of which were well known to the Indians.

Near it are places, the names of which are familiar to everyone: the Garden of the Gods, Glen Eyrie, Pikes Peak, Monument Park, and the Ute Pass.

It has two or three immense hotels and a few houses picturesquely situated.

It is thronged by thousands of people in the summer who come to drink the waters, try the camp cure, and make mountain excursions.

There is a rushing torrent in a valley with mountains covered with snow and rising to a height of nearly fifteen thousand feet overhanging it.

It is grand and awful and has a strange, solemn beauty like death.

And the snowy mountains are pierced by the torrent, which has excavated the Ute Pass, by which tomorrow I hope to go into the higher regions.

But all may be lost for want of a horseshoe nail.

But yeah, you don't see it in a whole lot of places.

What, what else we got? We have one more, one more thing that, uh, we wanna chat about, but there's a trail that, um, is pretty cool because, uh, for people unfamiliar with Colorado Springs, uh, there's Ute Pass, which is outside of Colorado Springs to the west.

It connects the Colorado Springs area, uh, kind of past Manitou up into Woodland Park area.

Um, so it's driven by a lot of people and, uh, you know, it is a pretty beautiful spot, but there's not really any sort of way to, to hike or walk that stretch.

You wanna tell us about that?

Yeah.

The best way to get into the conversation is, again, like you said, to paint that picture of Ute Pass, right?

Mm-hmm.
