Time Immemorial – Indigenous Peoples

As Colorado commemorates 150 years of statehood, it is important to honor the first caretakers of what we now know as Jefferson County Parks & Open Space.

People have had connections to the Colorado Front Range for more than 12,000 years. Multiple tribes, including the Moghwachi, Tabeguache, and Uncompahgre of the Ute Nation, and the Hinono’ei (Arapaho) and the Tsistsistas (Cheyenne), practiced their lifeways on the land for thousands of years prior to European settlement. “Viewsheds, night skies, soundscapes, trails, plants, animals, waterways, [and] landforms” of this region provided value and held significance to Indigenous peoples. It continues to do so today for contemporary Indigenous communities.

-Summarized from the report “Indigenous Connections: Native American Ethnographic Study of Golden, Colorado and the Clear Creek Valley” prepared by Sean O’Meara. To learn more, please visit https://www.guidinggolden.com/ethnography.

As our neighbors in Evergreen and Kittredge begin the difficult process of cleaning up after the recent flooding, we want to remind residents to be cautious of unsolicited contractors who may go door-to-door offering repair services. Although we have no reports of scams at this time, disasters can create opportunities for people to take advantage of homeowners who are understandably eager to begin repairs.

Before signing a contract, paying a deposit, or allowing work to begin:

• Take your time. Don’t feel pressured to make an immediate decision.
• Research the contractor. Check references, reviews, licensing, and insurance.
• Get multiple estimates before committing.
• Never pay the full amount upfront.
• Be cautious of anyone who insists on cash-only payments or pressures you to sign immediately.

We understand the desire to restore your home as quickly as possible, but taking a little extra time now can help protect you from becoming a victim of fraud.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is committed to helping our community recover safely. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. If you believe you’ve encountered a scam or suspicious activity, please report it to us – 303-980-7300.

Last night's severe storm impacted the Evergreen area, bringing significant rainfall and localized flooding.

The storm cell remained over the area for approximately two hours and unofficial estimates indicate that about 6 inches of rain fell in the area. Water levels above Evergreen Lake went from 12 cubic feet per second (CFS) to 1200 CFS. Below the lake in Morrison, the levels on Bear Creek went from 6 CFS to 1890 CFS.

Muddy debris remains visible across multiple roadways, and some entrances to Jefferson County Parks and Open Space areas may be affected. Several residents have also reported flood damage to their homes.
