    On Our Drive Back Through Utah from Rocky Mountain National Park, We Had a Couple of Hours to Stop at the Dinosaur National Monu

    DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT: QUARRY EXHIBIT HALL, SPLIT MOUNTAIN VIEWPOINT, AND SWELTER SHELTER ! PETROGLYPHS AND PICTOGRAPHS On our drive back through Utah from Rocky Mountain National Park, we had a couple of hours to stop at the Dinosaur National Monument after driving out of RMNP through the Trail Ridge Road. Best known for the huge wall of dinosaur fossils, protected by a large and enclosed building, which visitors can see by taking a shuttle bus from the main visitors center, this national monument also has a surprising collection of amazing rock formations. Unfortunately, we did not have time to see much of the monument, but there are many paved, dirt, and 4WD access roads to overlooks of the Green and Yampa Rivers, petroglyphs and pictographs, slot canyons, and historical cabins. After visiting the Quarry Exhibit Hall, we briefly checked out the Fossil Discovery Trail, then continued on to an overlook of Split Mountain and the Green River. We had considered continuing along this road to see more overlooks on the way to the Josie Morris Cabin, but we didn't have enough time, and therefore only were able to stop at the Swelter Shelter petroglyphs and !pictographs. The views from Trail Ridge Road on our drive out of Rocky Mountain National Park were a little different on such a clear day; this is Sundance Mountain pictured below: ! ! There was still quite a bit of snow on the peaks, making for good photography again: ! !

Eubanks Submitted to The Water Resources Planning Fellowship Steering Committee Colorado State University in fulfillment of requirements for AE 795 AV Special Study in Planning August 1980 COLORADO WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH INSTITUTE Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado 80523 Norman A. Evans, Director ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to acknowledge the cooperation and helpful parti­ cipation of the many persons interviewed during preparation of this report. Their input was essential to its production. The moral support provided by my dearest friend and fiancee l Joan E. Moseley has been very helpful over the course of preparing this report. The guidance and contribution of my graduate committee is also acknowledged. The Committee consists of Norman A. Evans, Director of the Colorado Water Resources Research Institute and Chairman of the Committee; Henry Caulfield, Professor of Political Science; R. Burnell Held, Professor of Outdoor Recreation; Victor A. Koelzer, Professor of Civil Engineering; Kenneth C. Nobe, Chairman of the Department of Economics; and Everett V.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This critique of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement-Study Report (DEIS/SR) found it deficient with respect to several of the statutory requirements and guidelines by which it was reviewed. The foremost criticism of the DEIS/SR concerns its failure to develop and evaluate a water development (representing economic development) alternative to the proposed wild and scenic 'river designation of the Cache La Poudre.
