Humans are an important part of the story of Colorado's National Parks. Some used the abundant natural resources to make it home. Others used ingenious methods to adapt to the harsh environments. Still others sought to preserve them for future generations. The common denominator for humans across cultures - and through time - is the power the National Parks of Colorado have on the human spirit.
