Studies and reports of all primitive areas have been completed. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the Act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The Act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for. incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of some national forest lands in the Lone Peak study area, Utah, that are being considered for wilderness designation. The area studied is in the central Wasatch Range, southeast of Salt Lake City. * CONTENTS \ Page Summary........................................... ................................................................................ 1 « Introduction........................................................................................................................ 2 Previous investigations .......................................................................................... 6 Present investigations ............................................................................................ 7 Acknowledgments .................................................................................................... 7 ' Geology, by Calvin S.

Designated as a Scenic Byway, estimates show that a million people travel this route each year. During winter, the road is closed to cars and used for winter recreation. The destination is simply the road itself that winds through the rugged alpine canyon offering stupendous views of 11,000’ Mount Timpanogos and other glacier-carved peaks. The route follows S.R. 92 up American Fork Canyon and then continues through Uinta National Forest into Provo Canyon. How to get there: From I-15 take the American Fork Canyon exit number 278.

Last summer I developed an apparatus to condition myself for Finn racing. It simulates the hiking and sheet tending normally encountered in a Finn and should be equally as useful for a Snipe. Perhaps a few hearty and healthy Snipers, grown soft over the winter, could use this idea in preparing for some TT03HMIJ of the several midwinter and spring regattas. Basically, the machine consists of a bench to sit on, straps to hike from, and a sheet to pull on.
