Isn't Colorado City about the northernmost place in Colorado where you can see pinion pines?

Especially just north of there and up to Cedarwood exit!

I drive along there every day and I've been around the area since 77' on and off. It just seems so normal to me. I wish I had money to get some property from those Hatchet Ranch subdivisions.

Thanks, and thanks for checkin the photos out.

On the eastern slope, maybe--though there are some isolated pockets north of there. In western Colorado, piñons go clear to the Wyoming border--actually into southwestern Wyoming.

Don't get me started on how delicious piñon nuts are--I love 'em. But there isn't any more miserable job than trying to harvest the darned things. I knew some guys that used a pretty straightforward procedure--lay a sheet on the ground around the piñon tree, and then back into the trunk of the tree a few times with a pickup--just hard enough to knock all the cones loose, not hard enough to damage the tree. Got plenty of pitch on the truck, though.

Oh yeah, what about Rye?

You can't consider Colorado City without considering Rye.

Colorado City has the middle school, Craver, while Rye has the High School and grade school.

Pueblo County District 70 schools baby!

Superior to District 60 all day long and twice on Sundays!
