  • ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and Theworld
    CHAPTER 4 — ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World CHAPTER 4 ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World Jeffrey T. Stephenson, Before the Museum Paula E. Cushing, The first collections of specimens that make up what is now the Denver John R. Demboski, and Museum of Nature & Science were actually established well before the Frank-T. Krell founding of the institution in 1900, the selection of a board of trustees, or the construction of a building to house and exhibit the specimens. Edwin Carter (1830–1900) (Fig. 4.1) collected Colorado birds and mammals from the 1860s through the 1890s. Born in New York in 1830, Carter arrived in Colorado in 1859 hoping to make it rich in the goldfields, but he soon became interested in the region’s natural history. He learned hide tanning and, as his prospects for hitting the mother lode faded, he earned his living selling buckskin clothing that he handcrafted. Carter supplemented these earnings by mar- keting foodstuffs and other provisions to the growing population of successful and (mostly) unsuccessful prospectors flooding the region. His interest in nature turned to concern as he observed dwindling numbers of mammals and birds, owing largely to habitat destruction and overhunting. Period photographs of the area’s mining district show a landscape largely denuded of vegetation. By the 1870s, Carter noted that many animal species were becoming scarce. The state’s forests were being devastated, ranches and farms were replacing open prairie, and some species, including the last native bison in Colorado, were on the verge of extirpation or extinction.

  • Mt Rainier National Park to Near Morse Creek
    Corridor Sketch Summary Printed at: 4:13 PM 3/29/2018 WSDOT's Corridor Sketch Initiative is a collaborative planning process with agency partners to identify performance gaps and select high-level strategies to address them on the 304 corridors statewide. This Corridor Sketch Summary acts as an executive summary for one corridor. Please review the User Guide for Corridor Sketch Summaries prior to using information on this corridor: SR 410: Mt Rainier National Park to near Morse Creek (Season Closure Area) This 17-mile corridor runs between the Mount Rainier National Park boundary on the west side of the Cascade Mountains and Morse Creek, resembling a “V”. This route navigates mountainous terrain, winding its way through Mt Rainier National Park west of the Pacific Crest in the Cascade Mountains and just south of the access road to Crystal Mountain Resort, Washington’s largest ski resort. The character of the corridor is rural and consists entirely of heavily forested areas as it curves and ascends over steep grades. There are no incorporated communities located within the corridor. The corridor passes through Cayuse Pass, Chinook Pass, and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest east of the Cascades offering scenic views in numerous locations with turnouts at many sites. The highway passes through a large avalanche chute with more scenic areas. A portion of the route parallels the Rainier Fork American and American rivers between Naches Peak and Morse Creek at the eastern terminus. This segment also crosses over multiple creeks that flow into multiple lakes and rivers throughout the area. Current Function State Route 410 is a 107-mile long state highway, partially named the Chinook Scenic Byway and the Stephen Mather Memorial Parkway, and traverses Pierce, King, and Yakima counties.

  • Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Week Through Memorial
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. September 10, 2014 September is a great month to visit the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Hiking trails are less crowded, nighttime temperatures are cooler, and huckleberry picking is still a favorite pastime. This is also a month when changes start occurring in national forest campground operations and other forest-related activities. Chelan Ridge Raptor Migration Project: Every September and October since about 1997, HawkWatch International and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest have participated in counts of the autumn raptor migration through this region in an ongoing effort to monitor populations of raptors using the north Cascades migratory flyway. This years’ raptor count has started and guests are welcome to come up and participate in the raptor count. Counts typically range between 2,000-3,000 birds of up to 17 species per season. The most commonly seen species are the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Cooper's hawk, Northern Harrier, Golden Eagle, and American Kestrel. There is no water or developed camping at the site, so bring binoculars, drinking water and wear sturdy walking shoes for the three quarter mile hike to the observation point. Be prepared for harsh weather conditions. Chelan Ridge is located approximately 13 miles northwest of Chelan. The study site is accessed by following Washington State Road 153 about 6 miles/11 km northwest of Pateros, then Black Canyon Road (USFS Road No. 4010) west–southwest until it ends, then Cooper Mountain Road (USFS Road No. 8020) southeast for another 3 miles/5.4 km.

  • Memorial to William Skinner Cooper 1884-1978 DONALD B
    Memorial to William Skinner Cooper 1884-1978 DONALD B. LAWRENCE Department of Botany, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 Professor of Botany William S. Cooper of the University of Minnesota (1915-1951) died at Boulder, Colorado, on October 8, 1978, at age ninety-four. Born in Detroit, Michigan, on August 25, 1884, he became preoccupied with mountains at ages eight and nine, while traveling with his father within sight of the Blue Ridge and Adi­ rondack Mountains, and again in 1902 at age eighteen on his first of many trips to the Rockies of Colorado. That fall he entered Alma College, Michigan, and in his junior year was introduced to ecological concepts by Edgar Transeau. He graduated from Alma in June 1906, despite having taken time off in early spring to regain his health in the mountains of North Carolina. Cooper’s graduate studies began at The Johns Hop­ kins University in February 1907. Although he was by that time an affirmed botanist and had already amassed a notable private herbarium, he disliked the morphological aspects of botany that had been emphasized at Hopkins. He took an excellent elementary course in geology and was helped in library research by Harry Fielding Reid, an eminent glaciologist. Geological explorations were all-important in his scientific development. Always the Colorado mountains were in his mind; patterns of vegetation development that he had observed gradually merged with his knowledge of glacial history. Before the year at Hopkins had ended he had written, in essentially complete form, a paper entitled “Alpine Vegetation in the Vicinity of Long’s Peak, Colorado”; it was accepted in 1908 for publication in the Botanical Gazette.

Roach and Roach Description Noname Creek Trail Excerpt from Roach, J., & Roach, J. (2001). Colorado’s Thirteeners, 13,800 to 13,999 Feet (1st ed.). Golden, Colorado: Fulcrum Pub. North Pigeon Creek is between Pigeon Creek and Ruby Creek, which are named on the 1972 Snowdon Peak Quadrangle. All of these drainages are difficult to identify from the Animas River. Take some time to understand this complicated terrain before you enter the wilderness. All trails and trail junctions on this approach are unsigned. If you take the train, get off at Needleton and cross the suspension bridge to the Animas River’s east side. From the east end of the Needleton footbridge, walk 260 yards north on a wide trail past several private cabins to a rickety old gate and Pigeon Creek. Cross Pigeon Creek, pass a rusty rail car and walk 0.2 mile north on the continuing Animas River Trail to a long meadow at 8,260 feet. There are several idyllic campsites here, and we call this “Camper’s Meadow.” The introduction is over, as one of the keys to this approach waits for you in this meadow. Walk north as the meadow narrows and enter the meadow’s 100-yard-long northern lobe. Walk around the east end of a large tree that fell into the meadow and across the trail in 2000.
