FIVE Views of The High One


"Denali" means "The High One" in Athabascan (the tribe native to the region), and it is most appropriate for the highest peak in North America.

                                                                                Well, we woke up Thursday (September 2) to incredibly clear skies, and decided to drive into the Park.
                                                                                               We had resigned ourselves to the fact that we were probably part of the "70%" club; that is, the percentage of visitors to the Park that do not see Denali.
                                            However, eight miles down the road we were rewarded with a vision of it! We could see it all day, up to 100 miles away.....

    Hi there...oh so look forward to your blog...takes me to heaven.

Before Sarah takes down her fence, thought you should make a bee line to the rental, squat a while, make her crazy and then, "take off"...You both look "marvelous, darling, simply marvelous:, but the scenery is OUTDOING and EXCEEDING all expectations. Love, Miss Piggy

Relocation!

Trinidad Lake State Park Time for a change of scenery, from Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, to beautiful Trinidad, Colorado. I've not lived year-round in Colorado since September 1977, when I left Colorado Springs for Los Angeles. I've been following the Colorado Creative Industries for about two years, and have been extremely impressed by the State's Creative Districts - most specifically the Corazon de Trinidad . So, while I decided last year to relocate, the whole process was sped up by the events which have buffeted lives world-wide in the past four months.  Trinidad is in the southeast corner of the state, about equidistant from Denver and Albuquerque. It has a rich history, a magnificent downtown Historic District, and is home to the newest (42nd) Colorado State Park - Fisher's Peak. Amtrak runs the Southwest Chief from Union Station in LA to Chicago, and Trinidad has long been a stop along the route. It is also located along the I-25 corridor, and abut
