  • 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 Both unpublished data collected by the management agencies and data published in reports are included.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.

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.

  • Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta
    Overview of the Geology of Mount Shasta Geology 60 Fall 2007 William Hirt College of the Siskiyous 800 College Avenue Weed, California Introduction Mount Shasta is one of the twenty or so large volcanic peaks that dominate the High Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest. These isolated peaks and the hundreds of smaller vents that are scattered between them lie about 200 kilometers east of the coast and trend southward from Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia to Lassen Peak in northern California (Figure 1). Mount Shasta stands near the southern end of the Cascades, about 65 kilometers south of the Oregon border. It is a prominent landmark not only because its summit stands at an elevation of 4,317 meters (14,162 feet), but also because its volume of nearly 500 cubic kilometers makes it the largest of the Cascade STRATOVOLCANOES (Christiansen and Miller, 1989). Figure 1: Locations of the major High Cascade volcanoes and their lavas shown in relation to plate boundaries in the Pacific Northwest. Full arrows indicate spreading directions on divergent boundaries, and half arrows indicate directions of relative motion on shear boundaries. The outcrop pattern of High Cascade volcanic rocks is taken from McBirney and White (1982), and plate boundary locations are from Guffanti and Weaver (1988). Mount Shasta's prominence and obvious volcanic character reflect the recency of its activity. Although the present stratocone has been active intermittently during the past quarter of a million years, two of its four major eruptive episodes have occurred since large glaciers retreated from its slopes at the end of the PLEISTOCENE EPOCH, only 10,000 to 12,000 years ago (Christiansen, 1985).

A. Dellinger, E. A. du Bray, D. L. Leach, R. J. Goldfarb and R. C. Jachens U.S. Geological Survey and N. T. Zilka U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Golden Trout Wilderness (NF903), Sequoia and Inyo National Forests, Tulare and Inyo Counties, California. The area was established as a wilderness by Public Law 95-237,1978. SUMMARY Studies by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) did not reveal any large mineral deposits. Tungsten, lead, silver, zinc, and molybdenum are the principal elements in ore-forming minerals detected in the study area.

MILLER 1034 ShattuckAvenue, Berkeley, CA 94707 MICHAEL T. GREEN Department of Biology, Universityof North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27514 Abstract. We investigatedthe racial identity, distribution, and abundanceof WaterPipits (Anthusspinoletta) breeding in the mountainsof California.This commonnesting species of alpinetundra was not knownto breedin Californiauntil the 1970s;a reviewof historical evidencesuggests recent colonization. Mensural and plumagecomparisons show California populationsto be A. s. alticola, the breedingrace of the Rocky Mountains. This is of biogeographicalinterest, because the abundantwintering and migratorypipit of California is A. s. pacificus,while alticola normally occurshundreds of miles to the east.Water Pipits currentlynest in mesicalpine vegetation throughout much of the southernand centralSierra Nevada.Breeding densities are highestand mostuniform in the southernmostpart of this range.The only known breedingpopulation in California outsideof the Sierra Nevada occurson San Gorgonio Mountain in southernCalifornia. We hypothesizethat the previous absenceor rarity of breeding Water Pipits in the Sierra Nevada may be attributable to the most recentpaleoclimatic xerothermic period, the Hypsithermal(ca. 5,000 to 2,900 years BP), whichimuoverished many alnine biotasof arctic-oldcordilleran affinitv. Climate and habitat differencesmay prevenipa$cus from breedingin California, and geographicbarriers may have hindered colonization by alticola. The occurrenceand timing of the present colonizationmay be fortuitous.Alternatively, it is possiblethat prior colonizationof Great Basinranges by alticola facilitatedeventual dispersal to the SierraNevada.
