Who Knew? Golfing in Moraine Park?!

Richard Hahn posted this entry in Rocky Mountain National Park Forums on July 10, 2009. The Forums are a huge wealth of information about RMNP.

No one has golfed in Moraine Park for 46 years, but the outline of the old nine-hole course stood out, weeds against native grass.  Last fall, park crews began lowering the abandoned greens and trees to their natural grade as part of a plan to restore native wetlands and grasses.  Today, park crews continued their restoration process by placing native grass plants in the restored soils at the natural grade.  This was a very good thing to see.  Thanks park crews for your good work.


Incidentally, Richard Hahn is an awesome photographer and has a gallery in Estes Park.  Several of his photographs are on my "must have" list.
