  • Wilderness Visitors and Recreation Impacts: Baseline Data Available for Twentieth Century Conditions
    United States Department of Agriculture Wilderness Visitors and Forest Service Recreation Impacts: Baseline Rocky Mountain Research Station Data Available for Twentieth General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-117 Century Conditions September 2003 David N. Cole Vita Wright Abstract __________________________________________ Cole, David N.; Wright, Vita. 2003. Wilderness visitors and recreation impacts: baseline data available for twentieth century conditions. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-117. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 52 p. This report provides an assessment and compilation of recreation-related monitoring data sources across the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS). Telephone interviews with managers of all units of the NWPS and a literature search were conducted to locate studies that provide campsite impact data, trail impact data, and information about visitor characteristics. Of the 628 wildernesses that comprised the NWPS in January 2000, 51 percent had baseline campsite data, 9 percent had trail condition data and 24 percent had data on visitor characteristics. Wildernesses managed by the Forest Service and National Park Service were much more likely to have data than wildernesses managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service. Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included. Extensive appendices provide detailed information about available data for every study that we located. These have been organized by wilderness so that it is easy to locate all the information available for each wilderness in the NWPS. Keywords: campsite condition, monitoring, National Wilderness Preservation System, trail condition, visitor characteristics The Authors _______________________________________ David N.

  • MOUNT SHASTA & CASTLE CRAGS WILDERNESS Climbing Ranger
    MOUNT SHASTA & CASTLE CRAGS WILDERNESS Climbing Ranger Report 2017 SEARCH, RESCUE, SELF-RESCUE, FATALITY = 9 GARBAGE PACKED OUT ON FOOT BY RANGERS = 45 gallons HUMAN WASTE FOUND/REMOVED ON FOOT BY RANGERS (#) = 63 or 189 lbs. SUMMIT PASSES SOLD = 6,817 2017 CLIMBING & WEATHER SEASON SUMMARY: The 2017 Mount Shasta climbing season was fantastic. A banner winter lead to a long lasting climbing season with snow on the mountain and good climbing conditions into July. Search and Rescue incidents were below average. Unfortunately, we had one fatality this season that was not climbing related. Four climbing rangers managed the Mount Shasta and Castle Crags Wilderness areas. The Helen Lake camp was set up in early May and staffed every weekend throughout the summer season. Regular patrols took place on all routes as access opened up from the heavy winter snow drifts. Notable projects this year include the all new trailhead kiosks that were installed at all major trailheads around the mountain, the new Bunny Flat 3-panel informational kiosk and trailhead features, the ongoing Glacier re-photo project and the annual Helicopter Search & Rescue Training, hosted by the mountain rangers. Nick Meyers continues as the Lead Ranger and is backed up by longtime seasonal ranger Forrest Coots. Newer to the group are Andrew Kiefer and Paul Moore, both outstanding additions. Regular patrols, trail and trailhead maintenance and thousands of visitor contacts were conducted all spring, summer and fall. Left to right: Andrew Kiefer, Paul Moore, Nick Meyers and Forrest Coots at the Lake Helen camp Helen Lake, Memorial Day Weekend.

  • Data on California's Extreme Rainfall from 1862- 1995
    Data on California's Extreme Rainfall from 1862- 1995 By Jim Goodridge PO Box 970 Mendocino CA 95460 707 937 4709 June 29,1996 Prepared for: 19% CALIFORNIA WEATHER SYMPOSIUM Theme: "A prehistoric Look at California Rainfall and Floods" Sierra College Science Center, 5000 Rocklin Road, Rocklin, CA 95677 Introduction Prehistoric storms sculpted Earth's landscape and left evidences of their effects every where we look. Prehistoric storms eroded 10,000 feet of the top of the Sutter Buttes and filled the Sacramento Valley on the west side three miles deep with alluvial sediments. Among the condominiums of Incline Village they left boulders that could only have been deposited between houses by debris flows. Debris flows generally have the density of newly mixed concrete and move at about the speed of a freight train. Debris flows are a major force in sculpting Earth's land surface. All rainfalls when they hit the ground pick up minerals and modify the landscape. Significant sever storms can be quite localized and of short duration. They often fall between the measurements from our rain gage network and even now might still qualify as prehistoric. Sometimes we can find the sudden peaks in the stream flow records to tell us of their existence; if we are lucky. This is an account of some of the measured storms within the memories of recent California inhabitants. Some of these storms have remarkably large return periods (Map 1). They are not limited to the windward slopes like winter time orographic storms, (Map 2) they occur randomly distributed geographically as well as by season.

  • The Sutter Buttes: Attachments to the Land
    The Sutter Buttes: Attachments to the Land Antonio E. Valdes Humboldt State University Abstract The Sutter Buttes are an isolated group of lava domes jutting out of California’s flat Central Valley. They are a publicly valued icon, and have been compared to natural wonders such as Crater Lake and Yosemite, but unlike those icons, access into the Buttes is currently limited to authorized individuals and private landowners (Martin 1991). In 2003 the California Department of Parks and Recreation (State Parks) purchased 1,785 acres in the northern portion of the Buttes (CapRadio 2007). However, because the property is surrounded entirely by private land, the park is currently not available for public use (Rogers 2013). As a result, State Parks has offered many of the surrounding landowners exorbitant prices for their properties, with the intention of augmenting these properties to the park. By doing so, the state hopes to eventually border a county road, thus making the park accessible to the public. However, as of yet, no landowners have sold their properties to the state. This research investigates landowners’ sense of place, and, more specifically, reveals that a positive sense of place is a strong factor in- fluencing a number of the landowners’ decisions to retain the titles to their properties. The Sutter Buttes’ prominence above the surrounding plains, their near- ly perfect circular arrangement, and their geologic distinctiveness from other mountain ranges makes them anything but normal. Indeed, the physical features of the so-called “smallest mountain range in the world” are unique, but it is the human decisions surrounding these physical features that have allowed the Buttes to retain their character as an undeveloped rangeland.
