Download or read book Chimney Rock National Monument written by Amron Gravett and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appreciation of the Chimney Rock region goes back more than 1,000 years. Here in southwestern Colorado, the Ancestral Puebloans inhabited the northern San Juan River Basin as an outlier community of Chaco Canyon. Its function and use has created much conjecture. The site was abandoned by the early 1100s for reasons that some speculate were related to drought, resource depletion, warfare, migration, or a combination of these factors. Over the course of its recorded history, archaeologists, astronomers, regional historians, and visitors have celebrated the rocks, ruins, and landscape that make up this important feature in the Four Corners region. It has been called La Piedra Parada by Spanish explorers, Fire Mountain by Tewa-speaking pueblos, and Tupiwiniri by the Utes. Today, we know it as Chimney Rock National Monument due to a proclamation made in 2012 by Pres. Barack Obama.

Download or read book Wings for My Flight written by Marcy Cottrell Houle and published by Pruett Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this inspiring book, young wildlife biologist Marcy Cottrell Houle spends a summer perched on a high rock in Colorado's southwest desert. With no phone or running water, she and her research parmer immerse themselves in the study of a pair of endangered peregrine falcons that return to their ancestral nesting site on Chimney Rock. Coming to know these birds intimately while sharing their home, Houle develops an abiding devotion to them. She observes their breathtaking flight, their indomitable character, and their urgent will to survive. Before me a peregrine falcon emerged from the cliff with a fierce beauty; with utmost ease and perfect control it spun in a dizzying dive to the earth. Talons outstretched, it lightly grazed the object of its attention -- a trespassing prairie falcon who had slipped across the peregrine's invisible territorial line.... Its flight was a gust of pure energy. While conducting her research, Houle learns that Chimney Rock is the site of an Anasazi ruin slated for commercial development. She meets the unexpected resistance and hostility of townspeople who resent the obstacle the endangered birds pose to potential tourist dollars. Houle uncovers the depth and complexity of the issue that leads this community -- and so many others like it in today's growing world -- to an angry impasse. With compassion, insight, and fairness, Houle explores the dilemma between environmentalists and developers, both of whom value the land, but in different ways. Wings for My Flight is the story of one biologist who, through the help of another species, comes to a greater understanding of her own. As a Colorado press, Pruett Publishing is proud to reissue thisaward-winning book that addresses issues vital to Coloradans and Westerners.

Download or read book Chimney Rock written by J. McKim Malville and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sheds new light on the geography and the history of the Chimney Rock Archaeological Area in southwestern Colorado. Home until the mid-twelfth century to the ancestral Pueblo peoples, the Chaco Canyon and Chimney Rock area holds a wealth of information for present-day archaeologists to uncover. This collection investigates the architecture, location, and alignment of Pueblo great houses and the significant features of designed clay feather holders. The contributors suggest varied pre-historical uses for the towering double spires of Chimney Rock: as a logging camp, military garrison, home of Chacoan priests, astronomical observatory, and/or ceremonial-pilgrimage center. Chimney Rock: The Ultimate Outlier is a model of multi-faceted inquiry into a physically intriguing and certainly symbol-laden ancient North American residential site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide to Chimney Rock National Monument, Colorado, and having a rich over-all experience while there, but is also offered to you, towards having a deeper experience while you are there, as well. Unlike other booklets in this series of guide booklets, that share many of the magnificent and extraordinary locations throughout the Southwest, this one offers the opportunity for you to have a more meaningful and significant experience via a spiritual approach, as well. It offers and shares all the necessary steps to help you open up to the spiritual world with its many benefits and rewards. For you see... the spiritual world is not only within our reach, it is within each of us and by extention, all around us - always and at all times - and all we have to do is take our first sincere efforts to gain access into it, and then be open enough to receive it. Once we begin on our spiritual sojourn, we soon become aware of the deeper spiritual realities, and our lives can begin to shift and change into greater understanding, via our uplifted and expanding awareness, as well as, our spiritual connectedness. In the spiritual world there resides a true sense of inner harmony, inner balance and inner peace, which then creates more of a sense of unity within you, and therefore, unity in the world around you. Once you get to that point of spiritual receptivity and spiritual interconnectedness, and fully experience it - you will find life to be so full of wonder and magnificence, it will have been well worth your time and energy to achieve. But more instruction and insight into this later... in chapter 5 of this booklet. Safe hiking, and as the Navajo share, "With beauty all around you, may you walk".
