The San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado are awe-inspiring in their beauty. They harbor innumerable rivers, streams, lakes, and waterfalls, six wilderness areas, and a diverse population of wildlife. They contain more land above 10,000 feet than any other range in the continental U.S. and are home to thirteen 14,000 foot peaks. These mountains rise up very steeply and abruptly, giving them an air of majesty that is unrivaled in Colorado. The first inhabitants of the San Juans are thought to have been the Ute Indians. These Native Americans infiltrated much of western Colorado following the departure of the Anasazi and Fremont Indians around 1300 A.D. Unlike their predecessors, who relied on farming, the Utes subsisted as hunters and gatherers. They stalked the large populations of deer, elk, antelope, rabbits, and beavers that were found throughout the region. In addition to animal meat, the Utes also relied on berries that grew throughout the mountain valleys. It is believed that the Utes would leave the berries at the top of the trees untouched for the birds to eat. Likewise, the berries at the bottom of the trees were left for small animals to consume. Like many other Native American tribes, the Ute Indians were a nomadic people. They lived at lower elevations during the winter and migrated to the San Juan Mountains during the warm summer months. Even during this relatively mild season, the living conditions in the rugged mountains were oftentimes harsh and unpredictable. Nevertheless the Utes revered the San Juans and called them "The Shining Mountains." While living in these secluded mountains, the Utes seldom had to defend their land against competing tribes. They did, however, come into conflict with many of the Plains Indians when they migrated to lower elevations. These skirmishes became more pronounced after the arrival of the Spanish settlers in New Mexico in the 1600s. The Utes were the first tribe to acquire horses
