Civilian Conservation Corps 1933-1942 U.S

National Park Service Civilian Conservation Corps 1933-1942 U.S. Department of the Interior The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a federal agency created to put people back to work during the 1930s Great Depression. Unemployment in the United States averaged 25%, and in Utah, it was nearly 34%. The CCC eventually enrolled approximately three million young men, mostly eighteen to twenty-five years old, to work on public land conservation projects. Zion National Park hosted three CCC camps. NP-1 was located thirty miles north on the Kolob Plateau at Blue Springs. NP-2 was near the South Entrance west of the Virgin River, about where the South Campground is now located. NP-4, the Bridge Mountain camp, was located near the current Visitor Center and Watchman Campground. For nine years, the CCC built trails, roads, campgrounds, flood control devices, and much of the stonework visible in Zion today. The South Entrance pillars, the South Campground Amphitheater, and many of the rock buildings still in use were built by the young men. They also fought fires, planted trees and removed invasive plants. It was strenuous work. South Campground Amphitheater Besides putting them to work, the Zion camps had a night school for the young men with classes taught by park rangers and other CCC workers. After serving in the CCC, many embarked on careers that were connected with their experience and training with the Civilian Conservation Corps. While much of the legacy of the CCC remains at Zion National Park, the camps themselves have vanished in Washington County with the exception of one in nearby Leeds. For visitors interested in learning more about the CCC, contact the CCC Legacy, the national organization dedicated to preserving the memories and heritage of the Civilian Conservation Corps at www.ccclegacy.org.

ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.
