final environmental impact statement general management plan development concept plan CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK – UTAH Final Environmental Impact Statement General Management Plan Development Concept Plan CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK September, 1998 This Final General Management Plan/Development Concept Plan presents four alternatives for the management, use, and development of Capitol Reef National Park over the next 15 years. The preferred alternative is designed to protect and preserve exceptional resources, the quality of visitor experience, and the wilderness characteristics of certain portions of the park. The objectives reflect the purpose for which the area was originally set aside (Presidential Proclamations 2246, 3249, and 3888): to reserve in the public interest the Waterpocket Fold and other features and objects of scientific interest. Resources of particular concern include a variety of geological features, strata, and mineral deposits; biologically productive riparian areas; water quality in park streams and the natural “waterpockets” for which the fold is named; air quality, scenic vistas, and night sky vistas; endangered, sensitive, protected, and candidate plant and animal species; the park’s biological diversity; and Capitol Reef’s archeological and historic resources, particularly the rural historic landscape of Fruita. Alternative A, the preferred alternative, emphasizes wilderness preservation and resource protection while still accommodating a variety of park uses and ensuring quality visitor experiences. Alternative B focuses on removing many existing developments, to restore and enhance natural resources and wilderness qualities of the park. Alternative C, the 1982 General Management Plan, emphasizes visitor services and facilities, including development in some backcountry areas. Alternative D, the No Action Plan, would maintain visitor services and resource protection at current levels throughout the 15-year life of the plan.

Descendants of pioneers and ranchers acquainted with Cassidy tell stories about the man their ancestors knew as “Jim Lowe.” Nancy Thomas grew up hearing from her grandfather Clarence Tipton and others that Cassidy was a “man of his word.” Tipton was the foreman at the WS immediately before Cassidy’s arrival. The ranch sits at the southern end of the Outlaw Trail, a string of accommodating ranches and Wild Bunch hideouts stretching from Montana and the Canadian border into Mexico. The country surrounding the WS Ranch is forbidding; volcanic terrain cleft with precipitously angled, crenelated canyon walls defies access.
