In one of the most beautiful National Heritage Areas the rustic Indian Mountain development is home to these beautiful Mule Deer Fawns. The region encompassing the South Park National Heritage Area in Park County Colorado is known not just for abundant wildlife, but for its railroad, mining, cultural, and historic resources. The old west is still seen in some of the area's remaining mining camps, town buildings, and expansive ranches. Amongst plentiful recreational areas the SPNHA is also home to picturesque and challenging mountain ranges and world class gold medal waters.

Summer here is the time when new life is obvious in and around the National Forests. These twin Mule Deer fawns follow their mother around and learn how to fend for themselves before the bleak winter months. Elk and Caribou are seen on a regular basis across ranches and open space. At night creatures like Bobcats and Bears roam the area.

Snow capped 14,000 foot peaks remain in some regions against deep blue summer skies, amazing visitors to this high mountain valley. In the winter this outdoor playground includes skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. In the spring, summer, and fall, endless adventures can be had hiking, fishing, riding motorcycles and 4x4's, or tackling challenging single track trails.

Camping and backpacking are serene in the nearby Lost Creek Wilderness and surrounding National Forests. If climbing a 14,000 ft. peak suits your fancy, there are plenty to choose from within a short distance.
