Chief builts a trail

The Medano-Zapata Ranch is a beautiful piece of real estate adjoining the Great Sand Dunes National Park in South West Colorado. The Nature Conservancy was able to spring the money to purchase the land as part of a conservancy effort. Indian Chief helped a trail to be built so visitors could enjoy this wonderful resource with less impact to the environment.
Steve Austin -- also called Father Gnome -- has been doing a number of these trails over the years. He is close to 200 projects. He was the crew leader for the team Indian Chief worked in.
Here is the Chief resting on a gate that provided access tp the trail across a fence.
The gnomes are a important part of getting a successful trail project done.



The chief is enjoying the trail as some of the technical advisors for the trail come through.

Chief heads up 14er with Turkish friend

Melike (who is from Istanbul) is all spruced up for the cold as we head out early in the morning up the trail to Mt Grays (14,000 foot peak). It was beautiful day though it started off a little nippy in the morning...
Indian Chief had no use for his boots. The hike was completed in sandals. Being comfortable is important... :-)
Ahhhh... Melike and the Chief at the Top of the peak. The wind picked up and we had to get a jacket on. Nevertheless is was a beautiful day.

End of the hike... the thunderclouds rolled in but we were out in good time. Another beautiful day in the Colorado high country.
