In 1914, an effort was made by the Colorado Mountain Club to document the Native history of the area via a two week long pack trip.

What were the Utes and the Arapaho?

Conflicts continued between the Ute and the Arapaho until the spark of Colorado’s Gold Rush in 1858. The population of white explorers and settlers in the area exploded, and pressures on the neighboring Native American dwellings escalated. The Arapaho were the first to feel the effects of the rapid colonization and numerous treaties were concocted over time that continually decreased the size of the Arapaho’s territory. The Arapaho’s land rapidly shrank over the span of a decade, until they were completely removed from Colorado by 1878 and moved to reservations in Wyoming and Oklahoma. The Utes faced a similar fate, albeit a bit later than the Arapaho. Treaties drafted in the 1860s granted the Ute the western one-third of Colorado until gold was discovered in the San Juan Mountains and the Ute were pushed further south. By the 1880s, the Ute were left with only a small corner of southwestern Colorado.
