Author Bio
Located in Woodland Park, the Ute Pass Historical Society selected these touchstone images from its extensive collection of historical photographs, with many from the Wellington historic photograph collection. The society, which was established in 1976, works to preserve the history of the Ute Pass region, which includes Woodland Park, and to share that history with the present community and future generations. Its members and volunteers researched, assembled, and wrote this book.
