FoothillsFoothills – Respectivly discribed as lumpy rolling undulant terrain bunching into scrub and tree dotted hills huddled at the base of the verdurous slopes of the Front Range. Latticed with creeks, lush with grassy meadows shrubbed with strands of Gambel oak and mountain mahogany. Around 350 millon years ago the rockies towered over Colorado. A pause in the uplift accompanied by relentless erosion, wore down the peaks, spreading rubble eastward in enourmous alluvail fans. |
