Some report being followed. The figure local accounts name is called the River Witch.

The South Platte is worth knowing about. It is a plains river, wide, shallow and unpredictable, and the emigrant trails followed it west. It floods violently, and the flood of 1965 rebuilt this landscape.

Riparian woodland along a prairie river is an unusual environment in eastern Colorado: dense, wet and closed in, in a country that is otherwise entirely open. Walking into it from open plain is a genuine change in atmosphere and it does not need explaining supernaturally.

The trails are public.
