On September 4, 1915, hundreds of people gathered in Estes Park, Colorado, to celebrate the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park. This new nature preserve held the promise of peace, solitude, and rapture that many city dwellers craved. As Jerry Frank demonstrates, however, the park is much more than a lovely place. Rocky Mountain National Park was a keystone in broader efforts to create the National Park Service, and its history tells us a great deal about Colorado, tourism, and ecology in the American West. To Frank, the tensions between tourism and ecology have played out across a natural stage that is anything but passive. At nearly every turn the National Park Service found itself face-to-face with an environment that was difficult to anticipate—and impossible to control. Frank first takes readers back to the late nineteenth century, when Colorado boosters—already touting the Rocky Mountains’ restorative power for lung patients—set out to attract more tourists and generate revenue for the state. He then describes how an ecological perspective came to Rocky in fits and starts, offering a new way of imagining the park that did not sit comfortably with an entrenched management paradigm devoted to visitor recreation and comfort. Frank examines a wide range of popular activities including driving, hiking, skiing, fishing, and wildlife viewing to consider how they have impacted the park’s flora and fauna, often leaving widespread transformation in their wake. He subjects the decisions of park officials to close but evenhanded scrutiny, showing how in their zeal to return the park to what they understood as its natural state, they have tinkered with its features—sometimes with less than desirable results. Today’s Rocky Mountain National Park serves both competing visions, maintaining accessible roads and vistas for the convenience of tourists while guarding its backcountry to preserve ecological values. As the park prepares to celebrate its centennial, Frank’s book advances our understanding of its past while also providing an important touchstone for addressing its problems in the present and future.

A few years ago, Carriage Hills resident Bob Leavitt gazed across the Southern Estes Valley from the top of Lily Mountain and wondered how all this development got started (especially Carriage Hills). Then one day, a local historian told Bob, "I think there was an early ranch in the Southern Estes Valley." Intrigued, subsequent research by Bob confirmed that there was indeed an early ranch (the second one in the Estes Valley) and identified the owner as a man named James McLaughlin. Exactly where was it located, and what became of the ranch and its owner? To answer these and other questions, Bob spent several years researching the history of the Southern Estes Valley. Follow his journey as he brings to light fascinating untold stories of the early settlement and subsequent development of the Southern Estes Valley. Most of Carriage Hills was once owned by the Earl of Dunraven as part of his famous land grab in the Estes Valley. The land passed through several owners until it was finally developed as the Carriage Hills subdivision. As Carriage Hills grew to several hundred homes, a fierce battle erupted over the proposed annexation by the Town of Estes Park. Though annexation was ultimately rejected, it involved issues that still resonate today whenever annexation is discussed. The second half of this book details the growth of Carriage Hills and nearby subdivisions from the 1960s to today and includes comments and photos from longtime residents. Who were the first developers in Carriage Hills? When and where were the first homes built? What challenges did the residents face? These and other questions are answered in the second half of the book.
