Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geologic Story of the Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado A year later, 1907, an automobile stage line was established between Estes Park and Loveland, and in 1909 Mr. Enos A. Mills began his work of urging the establishment of the national reservation. While the vast tumbled massing of mountains in Colorado became a notable landmark for the early explorers, that magnificently scenic grouping which is now the Rocky Mountain National Park became known only in later years. The reason was that, while it fronts immediately the great eastern plains, it lay apart from and between the natural passes across the Rockies. The first historical reference to this section is found in the records of the explorations of Lieut. Pike, for whom Pikes Peak was named. Scanning the snow-topped mountain barrier from the plains in November, 1806, Pike singled out its most commanding height and called it Great Peak; but he entered the mountains many miles south.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Geology of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado So it is with the history of the earth, which we call geology. A great volcanic eruption took place long before the coming of man. We do not need tradition to tell us of the event; we see the crater and the hardened lava flow. Most of us take the world for granted. We do not stop to consider the forces which produced the familiar landscapes nor the series of events which the hills and the rocks record. But for him who observes closely, and carefully pieces together his scattered observations, there gradually unfolds a picture of earth history so vast in its span of time that it staggers imagination. If the information presented in the following pages affords the visitor to Rocky Mountain National Park a brief glimpse of this history, revealing to him the origin of the grand scenery which he admires, it have accomplished its purpose.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geologic Story of Canyonlands National Park Unless credited to others, for which grateful acknowledgment is made, the color photographs were taken by me. Most of these were taken on 4 by 5 - inch film in a tripod-mounted press camera using lenses of several focal lengths, but a few were taken on 35-millimeter film. Unless credited to others, the black and white photographs were kindly loaned from the Moab and Arches files of the National Park Service. The points from which most of the photographs were taken are shown in figure 19. Although Major John Wesley Powell was not the first geologist to view the canyon lands, his two daring boat trips down the Green and Colorado Rivers in 1869 and 1871 made history by bringing to light the first descriptions of the geography and geology of what was then the largest remaining uncharted wilderness in the United States. Many landmarks along the canyons in the park were named by Powell and his men during those explorations. J. S. Newberry is thought to have been the first geologist to view the canyon lands - at least he seems to have been the first one whose observations were recorded but the more comprehensive findings of Powell (1875) were the ones that made history.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peneplains of the Front Range and Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Later Davis3 accepted Ball's description and applied to the high lands the term a two-cycle mountain mass. This term and other expressions in his paper indicate that Davis believes that only two main cycles of erosion are represented in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado - an older one resulting in the formation of a peneplain and a younger one during which the canyons and cirques were excavated. Hence the remnants of the highland plain found at many places in these mountains are referred to as parts of the peneplain. A possible third cycle. The dissected plateau near Pikes Peak which Cross described as practically the same as the floor of South Park was recognized by Richardson 4 in the Castle Rock quadrangle and by Finlay 5 in the Colorado Springs quadrangle. This plateau lies at altitudes between and feet and is extensively developed in the Front Range in Colorado. From localities at some distance from the mountains this plain appears to be an almost horizontal shelf that extends along the mountain front as far as the eye can reach. The area in which it is best developed and best preserved extends from Denver south ward to Pikes Peak. In areas farther north, such as the moun tains west of Golden, it is not so readily recognized, but it seems to be represented by surfaces much lower than the highland plain described by Ball as lying above feet. Remnants of the lower plain may be recognized from some commanding eminence, such as Mount Lookout, near Golden, Colo., whose summit appears to be a part of the lower peneplain. This plain has become known somewhat widely as the Rocky Mountain peneplain, possibly because it is the most extensive land form in the Front Range. From Mount Lookout may be seen at nearly the same level numerous flat tops, benches, and smooth-floored reentrants (see B]. I), which are rem nants of the Rocky Mountain peneplain. But the best-known view of this peneplain is that which may be had from the side of Pikes Peak at an altitude of about feet. From this point the oh server looks to the north and west over the tops of the mountain ridges as over a level plain.
