Summary edit

Description
English: (1 in a multiple picture album)

I stood under the shade of a pine tree at Fairview Curve on Trail Ridge Road (CO Hwy 34) and shot this view of the Cache la Poudre Valley below. The name comes from an incident when French trappers had to retreat from marauding Indians. Before they ran, they hid (cached) their powder (Poudre) so they could find it when they came back.
You can see the newborn Colorado River meandering through the meadows. On the left, if you look closely, you'll see the highway as it heads back to Grand Lake, the southern entrance of the park.

The land rising on the right is the foothills of the Never Summer Mountains, poetically named by the Native Americans.
