Ute Mountain Casino - Towaoc, CO - vacation with a wide array of activity

There is a legend surrounding the Sleeping Ute Mountain. There was a Great Warrior God that arrived to help fight the Evil Ones that were causing a great deal of trouble. There was a large battle between the Evil Ones and the Great Warrior God during which their feet were pushed in the land so hard to brace themselves they formed the existing valleys and mountains. After the battle the injured Great Warrior God laid down to rest and his blood turned to water for the animals to drink from.

The people believe that when clouds or fog settle over the area the blankets for the seasons are being changed. The color of the blanket indicates the season that is about to begin. The Indians believe that the God will return to help fight the Evil Ones again.
