Pioneer Fountain Monument, Denver Colorado.


This 1911 vintage French Beaux Arts sculpture in downtown Denver Colorado marks the end of the Smoke Hill Trail.   This  photograph is less than ideal, but it's a crowded area and I only had a second to take the photo before the scene filled back up.  The Smokey Hill Trail ran from Kansas to this area and is associated with the gold rush of the area as well as pioneers of other types.
