  • Thesis an Investigation Into Beaver-Induced Holocene
    THESIS AN INVESTIGATION INTO BEAVER-INDUCED HOLOCENE SEDIMENTATION USING GROUND PENETRATING RADAR AND SEISMIC REFRACTION: BEAVER MEADOWS, ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, COLORADO Submitted by Natalie Kramer Department of Geosciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2011 Master's Committee: Advisor: Ellen Wohl Co-Advisor: Dennis Harry Paul Meiman Copyright by Natalie Kramer 2011 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT AN INVESTIGATION INTO BEAVER-INDUCED HOLOCENE SEDIMENTATION USING GROUND PENETRATING RADAR AND SEISMIC REFRACTION: BEAVER MEADOWS, ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, COLORADO This study used ∼1 km of near-surface seismic refraction (SSR) data and ∼6 km of ground pene- trating radar (GPR) data to infer the impact of Holocene beaver activity on sediment aggradation in Beaver Meadows, Rocky Mountain National Park. GPR data were used to uniquely identify radar packages of genetically related strata corresponding to glacial, non-glacial, and beaver-induced sed- imentation. The radar package relating to glacial deposition was wedge-shaped and predominantly composed of a diffraction-rich, chaotic facie. The radar package relating to alluvium was draped over the glacial deposits and was characterized by multiple facies, but in general contained complex, slightly continuous reflectors interfingered with continuous, horizontal to subhorizontal reflectors. The radar package related to beaver-induced sedimentation was characterized by a laterally con- tinuous parallel facie, interpreted to be ponded sediment, that abruptly truncated into a zone of chaotic reflectors, interpreted to be a beaver dam. In order to determine the relative magnitude of post-glacial deposition, the bedrock contact was determined using seismic refraction, GPR, auger data, and previous seismic and drilling studies.

Assessment Why does the Stanley hotel play an iconic role in the landscape of upper Estes Park ​ Question(s): and the region as a whole? 6. Contextual Paragraph F.O. Stanley was an inventor and a visionary for his time. After coming to Colorado ​ because of health reasons, he not only established and built the iconic Stanley Hotel, but was responsible for the development of the site of Estes Park as well through his involvement in the development of the road systems, financing the water system, and launching a major advertising campaign to bring tourists to the city via motor coaches which traveled through the canyon from Estes Park. Known as a resort hotel, the Stanley was a “draw” to tourists from across the nation who were looking for a comfortable and luxurious way to travel in the Colorado Rockies at the turn of the century. The hotel has been a host to contemporary travelers and moviemakers and is known today as the setting for the movie based on Stephen King's novel The Shining.

  • The Stanley Hotel History
    The Stanley Hotel History: The property of the Stanley hotel was a favorite of Mr. Windham Thomas Whydham‐Quin the fourth Earl of Dunraven. He would come to the area for his summer hunting. “Lord Dunraven” wanted to put a Hunting lodge and game preserve. Wyndham Thomas Quinn the 4th Earl of Dunraven Dunraven hired some local Agents and purchased 15,000 acres from the U.S. Government. Soon after the purchase there were claims filed by twenty‐one different parties including Mr. R.Q. McGregor. They all claimed that Dunraven had no right to the land because he was not a U.S. citizen. Mr. Dunraven lost the property due to the claims of Mr. McGregor. F.O. Stanley A local who wanted to purchase the land for himself had hired R.Q. McGregor. This was Mr. Freelan Oscar Stanley. Freelan Oscar (F.O.) Stanley was born in 1849; he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1903 and was told to move to Colorado because the “fresh mountain air” would help his condition. Mr. Stanley and his wife moved to a home located at 1401 Gilpin St in Denver. After a month in Denver, he was showing no signs of change. Arrangements were made for him to visit a friend’s cabin in Estes Park. Mr. & Mrs. Stanley fell in love with the area and in 1904 purchased 8.4 acres of their own. F.O. Stanley’s sister Flora Jane Record Tileston, who would become Mrs. Stanley (1848‐1949) was an active member of the community, she was known for dressing up as a Gypsy and doing fortune telling at fundraisers for the Estes Park Women’s Club They purchased the property with the assistance of Mr.

  • Hiking in the Kawuneeche Valley Rocky Mountain
    National Park Rocky Mountain National Park Service Hiking in the Kawuneeche Valley Adams Falls (East Inlet Trailhead) This easy 1/3 mile hike leads to a small, pleasant waterfall. If you wish to go further, past the falls, you will come to a large, grassy, glaciated valley with a river running through it. Moose are sometimes sighted in this valley. Many types of wildflowers are found in this area. (79’gain) Cascade Falls (North Inlet Trailhead) Photogenic Cascade Falls is 3.4 miles into the North Inlet trail.

SERIES Copyright by WiswaU The Village of Estes Park nestles in a quiet little valley, surrounded by mountains Page two An Appreciation of Rocky Mountain National Park By ENOS A. MILLS, Author of "Wild Life on the Rockies," "The Rocky Mountain Wonderland," etc. Written Especially fer the United States Railroad Administration j]HE Rocky Mountain National Park is a marvelous grouping of gentle­ ness and grandeur; an eloquent, wordless hymn, sung in silent, poetic pictures; a wilderness mountain world of groves and grass plots, crags and canyons, rounded lakes with shadow-matted shores that rest in peace within the purple forest. There are wild flowers of every color, and many a silken meadow edged with ferns. Brokenness and beauty, terrace upon terrace, a magnificent hanging wild garden. Over these terraces waters rush and pour. From ice-sculptured, snow-piled peaks, young and eager streams leap in white cascades between crowding cliffs and pines. Through this wildness winds the trail, with its secrets of the centuries, where adventures come and go and where the magic camp fire blossoms in the night. In these primeval scenes the grizzly bear gives to the wilderness its master spell; the mountain ram poses on the cliff; the laughing, varied voice of the coyote echoes when the afterglow falls; the home-loving beaver builds his willow-fringed hut; the birds sing; the cheerful chipmunk frolics and never grows up; and here the world stays young. The Rocky Mountain National Park holds adventure for every visitor.
