They, however, only observed the Sierra Nevada mountains. None entered the high terrain where the giant Sequoia exist. Only one explorer came close to the Sierra Nevadas. In 1806 Ensign Gabriel Moraga, venturing into the foothills, crossed and named the Rio de la Santos Reyes (River of the Holy Kings) or Kings River. Americans in the San Joaquin Valley The first band of Americans entered the Valley in 1827 when Jedediah Smith and a group of fur traders traversed it from south to north. This journey ushered in the first American frontier as fifteen years of fur trapping followed. Still, none of these men reported sighting the giant trees. It was not until 1833 that members of the Joseph R. 1lalker expedition crossed the Sierra Nevadas and received credit as the first whites to See the Sequoia trees. These trees are presumed to form part of either the present M"rced or Tuolwnregroves. Others did not learn of their find since Walker's group failed to report their discovery.

    w COLORADO PARKS & WILDLIFE Post-Conference Report 2021 PARTNERS IN THE OUTDOORS CONFERENCE 2021 PARTNERS IN THE OUTDOORS CONFERENCE Photo: @CaptureTheAction Page 1 Partners in the Outdoors Dear Partners in the Outdoors Conference Community, Things were a little different this year... again. We didn’t have the pleasure of meeting in person to network and build relationships in a face to face setting. However, as we learned last year, the pandemic has provided an opportunity to extend our reach beyond the physical walls of a conference venue. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), with the advice of the many partners serving on our conference planning committee (see page 14), determined that it would be best to host a scaled back virtual conference to address zoom fatigue and the saturated market of webinars that we are all experiencing. Accordingly, the conference agenda included a total of just nine virtual events. However, each of these events were timely and relevant to the outdoor and natural resource management industries in Colorado. I am pleased to report that we have continued our growth trajectory with over 2,250 people participating in our conference representing nearly 400 organizations! This includes the 950 people who attended our sessions live and another 1,300 views of our conference recordings. We kicked things off in late April with two nationally renowned keynote speakers, Eduardo Garcia and Dr. J. Drew Lanham, who shared their inspiring stories related to their lives and careers in the outdoors. We then hosted a series of partner and CPW led sessions that supported the priority areas identified in our Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP).

  • Chapter 21: Literature: John Muir

    Chapter 21: Literature: John Muir

    Mount Shasta Annotated Bibliography Chapter 21 Literature: John Muir John Muir's exceptional mental and physical stamina enabled him to rigorously pursue, often in solitary fashion, the exploration of California's mountains. In the Fall of 1874 and the Spring of 1875 he climbed Mt. Shasta three times. Among the entries listed in this section are Muir's pocket notebooks kept during these climbs. His 1875 notebook contains many detailed drawings of the Shasta region. In one case, on April 28, 1875, he drew from the summit of Mt. Shasta a picture depicting an approaching storm, a storm similar to the one which would two days later, on another climb of the mountain, trap him and his climbing partner Jerome Fay on the summit of Mt. Shasta. Also listed in this section are the reports of A. F. Rodgers, who had hired Muir and Fay in the Spring of 1875 to go and take summit barometric readings. Rodgers wrote a fascinating report which vividly details the appearance and condition of Muir and Fay immediately following the overnight ordeal on April 30, 1875. Muir himself wrote stories of the ordeal that were published in several sources, including Harper's Magazine in 1877 and Picturesque California in 1888. Many of Muir's other published works describe Mt. Shasta. His earliest Mt. Shasta writings were a series of five articles printed in the San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin in 1874 and 1875; these have been edited and published by Robert Engberg as part of John Muir: Summering in the Sierra (not the same book as Muir's own book My First Summer in the Sierra).

Peak on skyline is 8,929 feet (2,722 meters) Mount Scott, an ~420 thousand years before present (ka) dacite stratovolcano considered to be part of Mount Mazama, the volcano that collapsed during the caldera-forming eruption ~7,700 years ago. The caldera walls in this view expose Mazama lava flows and fragmental deposits from as old as ~400 ka at Phantom Cone, adjacent to tiny Phantom Ship island, to as young as ~27 ka at Redcloud Cliff, the V-shaped face at the top of the wall left of center. The beheaded glacial valley of Kerr Notch, the low point on the caldera rim, is seen between Phantom Ship and Mount Scott. Photograph by Carly McLanahan. Cover (bottom photo): Newberry Volcano, Oregon, is the largest volcano in the Cascades volcanic arc. This north-facing view taken from the volcano’s peak, Paulina Peak (elevation 7,984 feet), encompasses much of the volcano’s 4-by-5-milewide central caldera, a volcanic depression formed in a powerful explosive eruption about 75,000 years ago. The caldera’s two lakes, Paulina Lake (left) and the slightly higher East Lake (right), are fed in part by active hot springs heated by molten rock (magma) deep beneath the caldera. The Central Pumice Cone sits between the lakes.
