Millions of years after the mountains began to rise, glaciers formed and retreated in a series of ice ages, helping to carve out the peaks and valleys of the landscape. Erosion from wind, rain, snow and waterways continues to leave its mark on the range today.

It’s a sport for the casual recreator or the fierce competitor. Disc golf began its evolution in the seventies after Ed Headrick, nicknamed “Steady” Ed, designed the modern-day Frisbee.
