Louisa Ward Arps was born in 1901 in Denver, CO. She published Denver in Slices, which has inspired many since its publication in 1959. She also was an avid mountaineer and an early member of the Colorado Mountain Club. She passed away in 1986 in Denver, CO.

She was praised by the Colorado legislature for her work as a historian, writer and naturalist that "has warmed the hearts and minds of Colorado's old and young". Mt. Arps is named after her.
