EP Directory 1930-1 Front Cover: For Your Pleasure Business and Cottage Directory [Illustration: Left foreground evergreen tree with Longs Peak in the background. The pen and ink sketch is uncredited] Season 1930 Copyright 1930. Helen Anderson [of what would today be called the visitors bureau], Arthur B. Harris [editor of the Estes Park Trail newspaper] [Notes: (1) After allowing EPHRP to digitize this copy of the Estes Park 1930 Business and Cottage Directory, Dr. Randall Maharry donated it to the Estes Park Public Library in January 2009. He originally purchased it from Jack Melton. (2) It is clear that at least four pages of the directory, and possibly eight, were removed at some time in the past (or accidentally omitted at the time of publication), because the list of names beginning with C and D is too small for the overall number of names included, with an obvious gap between “Camp” and “Denton”, the last name appearing in the C section and the first name appearing in the D section, respectively. As well, there are cross-references to names or categories that should be in these sections (like “see Clatworthy” or “see Cottages”) that cannot be found. (3) Because the Estes Park post office is used as the reference point for most downtown locations, it should be remembered that the post office in 1930 was in what is now called Bond Park. (4) Although they do not appear with a hash mark (#) in the directory, all telephone numbers are prefixed with this symbol to increase search efficiency. (5) This directory was digitized, corrected, and all annotations added in December 2008. Annotations in square brackets provided by John Meissner, annotations in “greater than-less than” brackets provided by Sybil Barnes. Parenthetical comments bracketed by curved parentheses are part of the original document.] A John H. Abbott, 14.4 miles Big Thompson Canyon Road, Drake Donald A.

    THESIS RAPID ASCENT: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK IN THE GREAT ACCELERATION, 1945-PRESENT Submitted by Mark Boxell Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Mark Fiege Ben Bobowski Adrian Howkins John Lindenbaum Jared Orsi Copyright by Mark Boxell 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT RAPID ASCENT: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK IN THE GREAT ACCELERATION, 1945-PRESENT After the Second World War’s conclusion, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) experienced a massive rise in visitation. Mobilized by an affluent economy and a growing, auto- centric infrastructure, Americans rushed to RMNP in droves, setting off new concerns over the need for infrastructure improvements in the park. National parks across the country experienced similar explosions in visitation, inspiring utilities- and road-building campaigns throughout the park units administered by the National Park Service. The quasi-urbanization of parks like RMNP implicated the United States’ public lands in a process of global change, whereby wartime technologies, cheap fossil fuels, and a culture of techno-optimism—epitomized by the Mission 66 development program—helped foster a “Great Acceleration” of human alterations of Earth’s natural systems. This transformation culminated in worldwide turns toward mass-urbanization, industrial agriculture, and globalized markets. The Great Acceleration, part of the Anthropocene— a new geologic epoch we have likely entered, which proposes that humans have become a force of geologic change—is used as a conceptual tool for understanding the connections between local and global changes which shaped the park after World War II.

    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior State of the Park Report Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado December 2017 National Park Service. 2017. State of the Park Report for Rocky Mountain National Park. State of the Park Series No. 50. National Park Service, Washington, DC. On the cover: Hallett Peak reflected in Dream Lake. NPS Photo. Disclaimer. This State of the Park report summarizes the current condition of park resources, visitor experience, and park infrastructure as assessed by a combination of available factual information and the expert opinion and professional judgment of park staff and subject matter experts. The internet version of this report provides additional details and sources of information about the findings summarized in the report, including references, accounts on the origin and quality of the data, and the methods and analytic approaches used in data collection and assessments of condition. This report provides evaluations of status and trends based on interpretation by NPS scientists and managers of both quantitative and non-quantitative assessments and observations. Future condition ratings may differ from findings in this report as new data and knowledge become available. The park superintendent approved the publication of this report. Executive Summary The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of national parks for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. NPS Management Policies (2006) state that “The Service will also strive to ensure that park resources and values are passed on to future generations in a condition that is as good as, or better than, the conditions that exist today.” As part of the stewardship of national parks for the American people, the NPS has begun to develop State of the Park reports to assess the overall status and trends of each park’s resources.
