Excerpt from Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado The stories which the park reveals to those who study it are of intense interest. Its climax scenery is made up of great gorges, lofty peaks, and remote lakes - the product of once mighty glaciers. Its forests and wildflowers tell a story of struggle and adjustment to environments which differ with altitude and exposure. Its native populations - deer, elk, bear, beaver, birds and the myriad lesser crea tures of the wild - can be seen in their natural habitats. Its streams attract the hopeful fisherman; its unmodified natural compositions enthrall the artist; its cool, green setting appeals to all summer travelers. Great forests, high peaks, and cool summers add TO the appeal OF rocky mountain national park. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
