Honoring The Past And Celebrating The Present: 100 Years Of Research At Rocky Mountain National Park, Ben Baldwin, Bob Bobowski, Scott Esser, Paul Mclaughlin

Rocky Mountain National Park

In 2015, Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado) celebrated 100 years of protecting high-elevation ecosystems and wilderness character while providing visitors access to inspiring wild places. We took this centennial year as a time of celebration and a time for reflection on the strengths and weaknesses of our resource stewardship program. While the mountains within the park have changed relatively little over the past century, our approach to integrating science into park and wilderness management has changed dramatically. It is only recently that we have had the capacity to embrace adaptive management and work with partners to effectively use science to …

Rocky Mountain National Park: A History, C W. Buccholz

Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park: A History is more than just the story of Rocky Mountain in its brief tenure as a national park.

Origins of the national park idea are followed into the recent decades of the Park's overwhelming popularity. It is a story of change, of mountains reflecting the tenor of the times. From being a hunting ground to becoming ranchland, from being a region of resorts to becoming a national park, this small segment of the …
