Der Targhee National Forest Service stellt seinen raren Besuchern - außer uns ist niemand da! - einen Parkplatz, Picnic-Plätze und einen guten Wanderpfad zur Verfügung, der von mehreren Vanta- ge-Points aus einen wunderbaren Blick auf die schnurgeraden Cave Falls erlaubt. Dank des vulkanischen, sehr dunklen Gesteins, das den Untergrund des Flussbetts und die Geländekanten stellt, wirkt das Wasser tiefblau, fast schwarz, das darüber strö- mende Wasser bildet weiße Flöckchen, wo sich über Untiefen Wellen aufwerfen und reichlich Sauerstoff einmischen. Auch im weiteren Verlauf des Bechler River Trails begeistert uns der Bechler River mit seinen weißen Tupfern. Am Confluence von Falls und Bechler River vorbei geht es 2,4 km bis zu den Bechler Falls. Auch diese verlaufen über die gesamte Flussbreite, sind aber nicht so schön gerade wie die Cave Falls, sondern „unordentlich“. Wir genießen die Ruhe und Natürlichkeit der Umgebung, hier merkt man kaum, dass es andere Menschen überhaupt gibt.

  • Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned
    Conservationists and the Battles to Keep Dams Out of Yellowstone: Hetch Hetchy Overturned Michael J. Yochim Abstract Between 1919 and 1938 irrigation interests in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming repeatedly tried to construct reservoirs in Yellowstone National Park by damming several large park lakes and Bechler Meadows. Conservationists of the time joined forces with Horace Albright and Steven Mather of the National Park Service to oppose the dams. Ultimately successful in all their efforts, their key victory came in 1923 when they defeated an attempt to dam Yellowstone Lake. This victory reversed the loss of protected status for national parks that had occurred just ten years earlier at Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. By chronicling the protracted conflict over dams in Yellowstone, I illustrate that the conservationists (including Mather and Albright) reestablished the funda- mental preservation policy of the national parks and empowered the newly cre- ated National Park Service to carry out its mission of park protection. This effort was the key battle in proving national parks and wilderness to be inviolate to industrial, exploitive uses. Conservationists both defined and tested the inviolate policy in Yellowstone; their battles in Dinosaur National Monument and the Grand Canyon cemented it into place. Introduction Far off, there lies a lovely lake Which rests in beauty, there to take Swift pictures of the changing sky, Ethereal blues, and clouds piled high. When black the sky, when fall the rains, When blow fierce winds, her face remains Still beautiful, but agitate, Nor mirrors back their troubled state. Within a park this treasure lies, — Such region ne’er did man devise — The hand of Mighty God, alone, Could form the Park of Yellowstone.

  • Xplored Much of the Southern Portion of the Park He Had Just Arrived to Superintend
    .. :::. /01/D -/I~'-/ '(e..LL- The Bechler River Ranger Station: A History of Preservation By Mike Yochim November 2004 "All the way up the Bechler Canyon there are falls and cascades, not only in the Bechler River itself but every stream entering the Bechler throws its water over terraced cliffs above, and one is never out of the sound of roaring waters as he climbs higher and high~r toward the Pitchstone Plateau."-Superintendent Horace Albright, 1920. 1 The Bechler Region's wonders were only beginning to become known when Albright ·wrote his description of Bechler Canyon, after having explored much of the southern portion of the park he had just arrived to superintend. He-and the newly-created National Park Service that he represented-were facing several proposals by farmers from the surrounding states to impound ,the waters of Yellowstone Park. Idaho farmers were, in fact, proposing to flood Bechler Meadows with a reservoir-and their proposal had already passed the U.S. Senate. Albright, knowing he needed a first-hand look at the areas threatened with inundation, took a fall horseback trip through the areas (more than one dam was proposed). After visiting the Bechler region, he specifically deplored the potential Falls River Reservoir: In the Falls River country, as I have already stated, the irrigation projects would ruin a very scenic region. The loss of timber would be enormous, and the mud flats that would remain when the water was drawn off in the summer would be stench to Heaven. A vast amount of splendid moose range would be destroyed, and access to the remarkable canyons of Mountain Ash Creek, Falls River, Bechler River, and Boundary Creek would be cut off, because the reservoirs would back water up to the cliffs of the Pitchstone and '.
