A Photo Tour Of Planning Area E

Yesterday Mike Woodland took a tour of Planning Area E, where CCU is planning on developing their new campus. The HRCA has forbidden human incursion into this land so not to disturb the elk herds, yet feels comfortable considering a campus that will surely impact this natural resource.

This photo was taken from the west side of planning area E, looking northeast. The cliff area is the scenic overlook at the end of the Wildcat Mountain Trail. You can see Monarch in the very middle of this photo. There are tracks in the snow, from wildlife, all over this area.

Wildlife tracks are everywhere.
