Of trails through the trees
And golden orange leaves,
Of wranglers
And strong gentle horses.

The land, it may change.
Yet the lifestyles remain.
This West,
Strong beyond outside forces.



A unique landscape of breathtaking beauty embraces its visitors like a phantom spirit and presents them with that special grandeur found only in the Colorado Rockies.

A rider and his horses travel down a path that once bore the burden of steel rails and chugging locomotives. Trains passed here on their way to and from Marble, Colorado, transporting the white stone quarried from the mountain above the little town. Now this old railroad bed lies barren, and by its side great blocks of white marble stand scattered among towering aspen trees, providing evidence of the glory days when an economic boom took place in the Upper Crystal River Valley.

He's an icon of the west you see,
With his dog, his horse, his simplicity.
He preserves the past in a special way
As he blends it into the present day.
