Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting as a trickle in the Rocky Mountains, the Eagle River emerges in a glacial valley, cuts through a spectacular gorge near Red Cliff, and then creates the broad flood plain of the Eagle River Valley. At Dotsero, the river joins the mighty Colorado River. As long as humans have settled along the river, they have depended on it for their livelihood, trapping beaver for hats, mining gold and silver, collecting water for locomotive engines and channeling it for crops and ranching, harvesting ice for food preservation, and, most recently, converting water into snow with modern machines. Today the Eagle River Valley is the backbone of two of the greatest ski areas in the world, Vail and Beaver Creek. Sparkling through the ancient riverbed, the Eagle River continues its course to this day, flowing through the same valley that drew pioneers here in the 19th century.

The river runs south before turning west below Grand Lake, the largest natural lake in the state. After passing Kremmling it cuts a series of narrow canyons, including Gore, Glenwood, and De Beque. The Colorado emerges from the mountains at the Grand Valley, where it is joined by the Gunnison River before arcing northwest into desert Utah. Carving its way southwest across the Colorado Plateau, the Colorado forms Cataract Canyon and other gorges and receives its principal tributary, the Green River, before flowing into Lake Powell, a reservoir formed by the Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona nearly 200 miles (320 km) downstream. The Colorado passes Lee's Ferry in Arizona, the official dividing point of the Upper and Lower Colorado River Basins, before swinging south then west through the Grand Canyon. Below Lake Mead - the largest man-made lake in the U.S., formed by Hoover Dam at the junction of Arizona, Nevada and Ut

Download or read book Early Eagle written by Kathy Heicher and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled into a scenic mountain valley at the junction of the Eagle River and Brush Creek, Eagle is a small mountain town that is often overshadowed by its famous ski resort neighbor, Vail. However, this thriving little mountain community claims a rich history of more than 100 years of spunk and fortitude. Eagles robust character started with the miners who came to the valley in the 1880s seeking gold and silver. Then came the farmers and ranchers, who recognized another type of wealth in the fertile soils and abundant water of the valley. As for that spunk, the townspeople of Eagle were tenacious enough to wage a 20-year war seeking county seat status and progressive enough to keep a small town growing and thriving for over a century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young boy, Verne Albertson didn¿t like school. He preferred roaming the valleys and meadows of Burns, Colorado, Eagle County¿s prime cattle-raising country. What reasonable ranch kid would want to be stuck in a one-room schoolhouse learning math, spelling and reading when he could be out riding horses, fishing or hunting gophers with his trusty ¿beanie¿? The teachers didn¿t always appreciate Verne¿s shenanigans. Consequently, he spent quite a bit of time standing in the corner pondering the importance of education. This memoir reveals the life of a rural Colorado ranch kid in the 1940s. Albertson describes the little joys (stick horse rodeos) and bigger challenges (dodging mean chickens) of growing up in a much simpler time. Readers will find themselves longing for those long-lost days.
