SUMMARY:REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED! Summer Tours Series - #7 Pikeview Quarry BBQ
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, only one guest per ticket request submission.\nBBQ dinner at 5:30 PM (pre-register for both @ www.hpasprings.org/events). Please bring your own lawn chair. No charge for the dinner\, which is optional. The quarry needs an accurate number for ordering food. Register online separately for the tour. Check-in begins at 6:00 for a maximum of 60 on the tour. \nDirections/ Parking: Northwest Colorado Springs\, Rockrimmon area. Go north on Centennial Boulevard past Vindicator Drive to the 4-way stop at Allegheny Drive and turn left. Follow Allegheny until you come to Pikeview Quarry Road. Bear to your left and proceed onto quarry land. Parking assistance will be provided from there.  \nThe Pikeview Quarry opened in 1905 and has provided limestone for numerous downtown buildings\, the Air Force Academy and I-25 along with providing gravel and concrete for local construction. We will learn about its history and its important role as a fire break during the Waldo Canyon fire in 2012. Reclamation plans are underway to develop it into a world class bike park and to turn over to the city.  \nOur attire for the evening should be long pants\, long sleeves\, and sturdy closed-toe shoes or hiking boots. Hiking poles are also suggested. Bring water and expect wind and dust.  \nFor those who are interested\, there will be ATVs to take people on a 30-minute loop ride through the quarry. The views of the city are beautiful from any vantage point. We may get lucky and see some of the herd of 65 bighorn sheep who live up at the top of the quarry.  \nTour Guide: Jerry Schnabel (there may be a few others\, TBD)  \nHPA Coordinator: Carol Beans Disabled Access: All areas may not be accessible.  \nRestrooms: Available at the Scale House

Take Powers north to Woodmen\, go east then north on Black Forest Road to Shoup Road. Turn west for 0.72 miles to the La Foret site. Entrance is on the south side\, just past Rusk Lane.

We will then drive the ½ mile distance for a tour of the Chapel.  \nThe heavily forested site attracts 13\,000 visitors annually from the United Church of Christ (UCC) and other churches/ religious groups\, business and family retreats\, receptions\, weddings and team building events. It has hosted the popular Meadow Grass Music Festival for 10 years. The Ponderosa Lodge was built in 1928 as a summer home for local philanthropist Alice Bemis Taylor. The lodge\, along with the Taylor Memorial Chapel (built to honor her late husband Jack Taylor\, who died in 1929) were designed by noted Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem. After Alice’s death in 1942 her Foundation deeded the property to the Colorado Congregational Church\, now known as the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Church of Christ. Both the lodge and chapel are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Lodge is also on the Colorado Register of Historic Properties. A $200\,000 grant by History Colorado in 2015\, and a matching grant from supporters\, paid for renovations to the lodge in 2017.  \n___________________________ \nTour Guides: Larry McCulloch\, Executive Director of La Foret \nHPA Coordinator: Ron and Sue Harman \nRegistration begins at: 6:00pm \nDisabled Access: Yes      Restrooms: At the Lodge only

SUMMARY:Summer Tours Series - #1  The El Paso Canal
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, only one guest per ticket request submission.\nDirections/ Parking: – This tour celebrates the city’s sesquicentennial as it features its earliest use of water. Registration check in will begin at 6 PM and take place at Bristol Elementary School\, 890 North Walnut Street\, Colorado Springs. There will be two groups. The “hiking” group will walk up and down the moderately rough\, irregular terrain of the mesa before re-joining the “walking” group. According to our guide\, Horst Richardson\, “In my near-Westside neighborhood close to Bristol Elementary School\, the El Paso Canal continues to be a prominent feature. The canal that helped the city grow by providing water for irrigation in 1871 is still visible here and can be accessed on foot. I will provide pertinent photos and maps.”  \nHIKING GROUP: Horst will lead the hiking group from the school parking lot up the hill to the canal and onto the top of the mesa where once two reservoirs dating from 1878 were located for the city’s fresh water supply. After touring the reservoirs with the walking group\, they will descend the mesa\, look at his back yard through which the canal flowed\, then walk to the neighbor’s property to join the walking group.  \nWALKING GROUP: This group will carpool a few blocks to the top of the mesa\, tour the reservoirs\, then return to the school and walk to the neighbor’s property on level ground.  \nBOTH GROUPS: Horst Richardson’s neighbor is restoring not only the canal’s channel but also an old flume. We will then carpool a few blocks north to the Catamount Center in Sondermann Park to trace the canal through part of the park. As counterintuitive as it seems\, the gravity canal was on its way north to cross Monument Creek just south of Fillmore Street!  \nParticipants should wear walking shoes\, long pants\, and bring drinking water. For hikers sturdy hiking boots and walking sticks are also recommended. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
