Grand Mesa was a primary recreation destination for our early pioneers, and has remained so through the years. Many Delta citizens had a get-a-way cabin somewhere on the mesa, and, though it might take a day to get there, they would spend days and weeks enjoying the fishing and hunting while there. The Grand Mesa area had been a prime source of food (hunting) when the Ute Indians were still in this area before 1881.No hunting story was repeated in Delta more than the story of “Old Two Toes, or sometimes referred to as “Old Club Foot.”
