Enos Mills
Enos came to Estes Park as a teenager in the late 1800s. He grew to become one of Colorado’s outstanding mountain pioneers, criss-crossing the Rockies on skis and snowshoes. He served four years as the Colorado State Snow Observer, collecting data on snow depths, weather conditions, and avalanches and authoring 16 books. He has been called the “Father of Rocky Mountain National Park” for his contributions in establishing the park in 1915.
