Mary and I took a hike in Muller State Park, guided by one of the park rangers. This tree was featured as part of the ranger’s presentation. She called it a "Ute Indian Prayer Tree". They have found 20 of them on Muller State Park. The Ute Indians formed these trees as young saplings to grow in this shape. All of the trees point toward Pikes Peak and are sacred to the Ute tribe that used to live in this area. So if you ever come across a tree like this…stop and say a little prayer…you are in a sacred place.
