LOVELAND-FORT COL LINS

A IRPOR T

The Loveland-Fort Collins Airport is the result of a unique &nd mos! complie&Ted arrangement. I! represents an investment of approximately $850,000 provided by the two cities and the federal government bur it is operated by 11 fourth parry - Western Aviation, Inc.

Ar the present time 35 planes of various types and pur­poses are permanently based here and there are an average of 100 flight operations 111 The field daily. Construction is scheduled ro slarl soon on an additional hangar with space for 10 planes.

Many of the planes using the Loveland-Fort Collins air­port facilit ies are owned by companies having commercia l inleresls in the immediate area. II is a real if intangible factor in the industrial growth of bolh communities, an im­porlant consideration of companies seeking new locations for branch operations.

This modern, up-to-dale facilily maintains a paved and lighted runway 650 feet in length and 100 feet in width. lt has the capacity for handling all business type piston and jet powered 11ircr11h as well as mos! commercial jets.

In addition, Western Aviation offers complete me-:::han­ical services for the air traveler. Rental cars are also avai l­able.

Few cities of the loveland·Fort Collins si;:e can boast of such 11 comprehensive air facility.

It is said that knowledge and

understanding- the roots of higher

education- are by-products of

research . If that statement is vali4/

CSU is indeed a major contributor ·

to knowledge and understanding,

for it has become one of the

leading research organizations

in the state- and perhaps in the

Rocky Mountain area .

During the past fiscal year, $9.5

million was spent on basic

and applied research at CSU .

That research covers a

interests and problems of a given company or government­al agency and that body in turn learns the interests and capabilities of the students.

When the student completes his gr11du11te work, the sponsor of the research in which the student was "'."o~king has an inside lrack in recruiting an employee who 1s inter­ested in the firm's problems and an individual who posses­ses qualification to deal with them.

Officittls al Colorado Stale University also point out that the research finttncing program calls for the contrecting a­gency or firm to pay the eclual cost of the project plus a variable overhe.lld factor, thus making the research programs self-supporting.

Finencial ttrrangemenls for research al the university are handled through the Colorado Stale Un iversity Research Foundation (CSURF), a private corporation chartered under the laws of Colorttdo. All of CSURF's board of trustees ar1d officers tire on the CSU staff.

Three major factors heve contr ibuted lo the success of the research programs at CSU.

The personnel, all of whom are also faculty members, brought to CSU national ttnd inlern.lltional reputa tions and achievements.

Geographic loc11tion is a big plus. The front range of the Colorado Rockies offers an ideal setting pl us some nal· ural attributes which 11ssist in the resea rch work itself. Proximity lo the state's larges! metropolitan area and indu· sion in !he educational-industrial complex along the foothil:s are other plus factors.

Physical plant is the third matter of impo~t in the CSU rese11rch success. Uti lizing some of lhe benefits of geogra· phic location plus several facilities or "tools" not avai ~able at any other rese11rc.h center in the nation, CSU finds itself of increasing servic.e 10 industry and government.

CSU officials proje:t lh~t research activity will increase by some 25 per cent or $2.4 million duri"ng !he c.urrent 196!>-67 fisca l year.

The CSU Foothills Campus consists of the Engineering Research Center (ERC), a four structure complex with more than 90,000 square feet. Built in 1962, the Cenler cost S 1.B million and was constructed with matching federal ttnd state funds.

The ERC is active in such areas as sanitary engineering, ttg ricultural engineering, soil me:hanics, structural engineer­ing, electricttl engineeri ng, fracture mechanics and ground water investigations

Two other facets of the ERC include the hydraul ics laboratory which houses an eight-foot wide, four.foot deep and 200-foot long automatic tilting flume with a discharge c11pacity of 100 cubic feet a sec.ond. This truly unique in­s111 lla1ion utilizes w11ter from Horsetooth Reservoir which is just west of the compleK.

Some of the engineering work carried oul by CSU is international in scope. An example is a study of the hy­draulic aspects of the Tarbela Dam which will be constructed in Wes! Pakistan. The dam will have a generating capacity of 2, 100,000 kw and a usable water capacity of 9.3 million 11cre-feet.

Work is also being conducted on the design of a new major water distribution system in West Pakistan. Some of the new canals will convey as much as 22,000 cubic feet per second of water and will be about 450 feel wide and 14 feel deep.

Another major parl of the ERC 1s the fluid d ynamics and diffusion laboratory which began operations in 1949 with e low-speed recirculating wind tunnel. The scope of work in this laboratory has since been broadened lo include such subjects as the physics of fluids, geophysics end eero·

ITY ON THE MOVE! Loveland is many things to many people. Hundreds

from all over the U. S. have moved to this pretty little city to enjoy its endowments during their retirement years.

Others have come here to work in its industrial plants. Still ethers, The fortunate 'natives', have been privileged to enjoy Loveland's charms all their lives

To the more than a million vacationists who drive through Loveland each year on their way to Rocky Moun· lain National Park, Loveland is a picturesque littl~ city whose tourist accommodations are varied and reasonable

To everyone, Loveland's impressive views and incom­parable climate are unsurpassed

Though the Old West was iust yesterday for this seen·

~~iu~i~~;~~~~~~~ ic city, Loveland is no frontier cow town. It is a sophis-ticated community as modern as next year.

, J Loveland ivst recently received honorable mention in the All-Americll City contest sponsored by the National Mvnicipal leagve and look magazine.

II is a city of happy homes and many are among the mosl be'utifvl in all of colorful Colorado, with panoramic views of Longs Peak, the Front Range, the snow-capped Mvmmies and, of course, inlrigving formations of lhe foot­hills.

Loveland has 30 churches representing all major de­nominations, 62 service and fralernal organizations, one of lhe best police departments in the West, a well-eqvipped fire department and recreal ion facilities ranging from a quiet evening in 11 new library to a cook-ovl in the city's parks.

An vltra-modern 42-bed hospiral, a new med ical cen­ter and compe!en! physicians, svrgeons and dentists pro­vide medical care for Loveland's residents with the 'tovch' of a small community where people really care.

This charming little ci ty was founded in 1877 by hard­luck goldminers who discovered real 'gold' in the fertility o f the soil. These adventurers-tu rned-farmers named their settlement after W. A. H. Loveland, Indian fighter, buffalo hunter and railroad builder.

Industry Discovers Loveland Industry discovered Loveland in the middle '50s, real­

i:ting th<'ll here wu an untapped pool of literate labor wilh the 'old fuhioned' concept of giving an employer an hon­est day's work for a day's pay. The region's unusual cli· mete and recreational endowments added to Loveland's ap­peal 115 an industrial site

One of lhe newest to discover Loveland's potential is internationally known Redfield Gunsight Company, manu· fllcturer of telescopic rifle sights for civilian and military use. Redfield is the leading gunsight manufacturer in the United S1111es and its loveland-m<lde scopes are said by sportsman to be the finest quality.

Loveland's biggest industry is Hewlett-Pachrd, one of the nation's greats in the field of electronics. More lhan 1200 men and women are employed in its beautiful hilltop factory, a site with commanding panoramic views of lhe Rockies. Here are made intricate components and com­pleted units for. electronics manufac.turers over the world.

Lego Division of the Samsonite Corporation makes Danish-patented toys in its new Loveland factory which was in operation len than a year before its capacity was dou­bled. Now thousands of its unique little products are made in this big plant for distribution over the Free World.

The most intricate industry in Loveland is Scie'11ific Electronics, a division of TRW Inc., manufacturers of com­ponents for communications equipment and classified mili­tary devices. Equipment made in this Loveland factory is used on America's space projects.

Other Loveland industries, smaller in dimension but of no less import to the community, employ hundreds whose paychecks contribute substantially lo Larimer coun­ty's economic stability.

In the early days of the West, a "park" was ti plateau­like valley between mounbin ranges. When Joel Estes, and members of his family c<'lme from Oklahoma to Color­ado up the Narrows of the Big Thompson River Canyon to Estes Park, this is wh<'lt he found, <'I plateau surrounded by majestic peaks, having the romantic n_ames of l<'ldy Wash­ington, Mt. Meeker, Long's Peak, Chapin, Chiquit<'I, Ypsilon.

In English law, a "park" is a tract of land stocked with wild be11srs of the chase, and held through royal grant or by immemorial prescription. This was what lord Dunraven found when he entered Esles Park with his entourage and settled in the fish Creek area, building an huge hotel <'Ind out-buildings and ordering his minions to homestead the

In politic<'ll nomenclature, a "park" is a large area of country containing natural ..:uriosities re~erved by the gov­ernment for public enjoyment. This •s wh<'lt Enos Mills, famous wildlife expert and naturalist, helped to cre<'lle in 1he 409 squere miles in Rocky Mountain Nation<'ll Park, bre11stinq the Continental Divide between Estes Park and Grand lake, wi th acres of pine, fir, aspen, a fascinating tundra, and such animals <'IS elk, bear, beaver, deer, porcu­pine, coyote, and hundreds of other species of wildlife.

In psychological terms, a "park" is a retreat, a place to sit down and leave for awhile the busy activity of 11 civil­ized culture. This is what F. 0. Stanley found when he traveled the ntirrow, rock-hewn road from Longmont to Esres Park in his Stanley Steamer in a day's drive to his "retreat" in the woods.

Thus, Estes Park, Colorado has what one seeks, be he explorer, royalty, rich or poor, a politician or psychologist, a settler or a sojourner in the land.

Today, Estes Park is 11 mountain resort town with ho­tels, motels, ctibins and cottages with fireplaces, camp­grounds for campers, trtiiler courts, dude ranches, working ranches, resident and day camps for children, conferenc:e and convention centers, shops, stores, restaurants, coffee shops, gtirtiges, service stations, and all of the modern ac­coutrements of a city. In tiddition to 3700 natives, there tire more than 20,000 families who own summer homes in the area, and visitors numbering 1,500,000 a year.

It is indeed, "Resort Town U.S.A.", surrounded by lhe Rocky Mountain Narional Ptirk, the Roosevelt Nlllional For­e~!, and Bure'u of Reclamation land. The park and the forest provide thousands of miles of trails, streams for trout fishing, areas for hunling, grtizing, lumbering, and all kinds of mountain recretition. One can pack in to the highland ltikes for dlys of isolated fishing, or one can walk the well­deve!oped trail around Be~r lake or to lhe forest Canyon overlook. One can feed the chipmunks, ask a question of 11 Ranger, buy a gift or souvenir, see slides of majestic be,uly, take_ 11 sight-seeing lour into_ th~ Park or the Nation­al forest, glide up Prosoect Mountain in a cable car, ride 11 gentle mare between the mountains, paint the yellow as­~en, or view the mighty bull elk at mating l ime.

One can give full e11pression to his creative inlerest in summer theatre, a symphony concert, a natural history mu­seum, an art exhibit. The Dark Horse Players are a pro­fessional summer stock group giving nightly performances. The National Park Service natur<'ll history museums tire The best in the country. Three resident artists paint the yeu round, with hundreds of olhers joining them in vacation time.

The largest number of saddle horses in the Rocky Mountain area are handled with skill and understanding by loctil liverymen. There are short rides, long rides, chuck­wagon suppers, horse shows every week, and the Rooftop Rodeo 1he first weekend in August.

Conventions <'Ind Conferences, from service clubs to business groups, from religious to educalion<'ll groups crowd the conference headquarters. from the lions Con­vention to the lnstitvte on Alpine Research, from a conven­tion of Brethren to 11 Semintir for Science Writers, or a Na­tional Assembly on National Goals, sponsored by Columbia University, the conferences, conventions, semintirs, sympo­siums, convene and cavort in the local facilities . for bus­iness and pleasure, you may find success and solace in the silent stretches of lhe "Park".

Over 3000 college and university students from a ll of the 50 states and many foreign countries serve in establish­ments in the area. The State Employment Director serving the tirea is flooded with applications. The young people serve llS waitresses, clerks, dishwashers, children's workers, camp directors, !rail gvides, wranglers and entertainers.

For retreat, or relaxation, recreation or re-education, Estes Park, Colorado, is the place to come. The family on vacation, people of alt ages, can find enjoyment and recrea­tion in the gloriovs vistas, the majestic mountains, the busy streets of Estes Park.

HUNTING AND FISHING

Som1 li!1 to fi1h with how and arrow

Larimer County offers some of the finest fishing in the stale of Colorado, perhaps in the nation. There exists a wide variety of types of ~ish and fahing. Among the warm waler species found are crappie, bass, channel cat, bullhead, perch, walleye and mountain pike. Trout th111 can be found are cullhro111, brook, rainbow and german brown. The Poudre River is one of only two sl reams in the state where whitefish can be found. Kokanee and silver nlmon are stocked in some of the lakes.

The maior sw~ams in L<'lrimer .County are the Poudre, Ll!lramie and Big Tkompson rivers. The Poudre probably produces the most fish, wi rh 1he Thompson a very close second. The Laramie offers rome of the finest fly fishing in the state. Nentioning 1hese three rivers is by no means meant to belillle the quality of fishing in the hundreds of smaller streams in the county.

As for some of the better known lakes, Chambers Lake, which is located about 60 miles west of Vern's Place at the head of the Poudre River, is a beautiful lake with excel· lent tampgrounds and faci lities. Many 1 O to 16 inch rainbow trout are caught here. There are numerous small lakes in the high country near Chambers. To gel to many of these, it is necessary to 'pack in', as there are no roads

The Red Feather Ltikes, loctited approxim11tely 45 miles northwest of Fort Collins, produce m11ny 10 to 18 inch rain­bow. Some of the f<'lcilities available at Red Feather Vil­J11ge 11re campgrounds, cabins and lodges. Groceries, gas, some fishing tackle 11nd a post office <'Ire found here

The Hohnholz lakes, located on the Laramie River just below the Wyoming border, produce many 1 to 4 lb. rain­bow. Horsetoolh Reservoir, 3 miles west of Fort Collins, is a ple'5ant l11ke for boating, w111er skiing <'Ind fishi ng. Richards l<'lke and Wellington Reservoir No. 4 northeast, but close TO Fort Collins, offer good trout fishing in the spring 11nd early summer. Boyd lake, east of Loveland,

and Carter Lake, southwest of Loveland, are good fish pro­ducing lakes.

Here are a few l ips for the novice fisherman contern­ing the b11re necessities such 11s flies, spinners and spoons.

To begin with, fishermen need either ti spinning or spincast rod w ith a matching reel. Spinning rods and reels seem to be the most used bet11use they can be used for so many different types of fishing: with a bubble and fly, lures only, bait only, !rolling, etc.

Some of the more popul11r flies, spinners and spoons are:

FLIE5-ginger quill, rio gr11nde, adams, bl11ck gnats, red varient, grasshopper 11nd willow. (last two when they are in se<'lson)

SPINNERS-mepps, spinner minners, colorado spinners and shysters.

SPOON5-daredevil, debell , wobbles, kamlooper, gypsy king and thomas lures. · Favorite colors in order of their preference are red

11nd white, fluorescent, br<'lss 11nd crystal.

Ve rn's Sporting Goods, loc11ted one-quarter mile west of LaPorte, publishes 11 free weekly fishing re­port with information concerning Game 11nd Fish Oe­p11rtment stocking, gener11 I fishing conditions, road conditions, etc. This report is free to the public and will be very helpful in planning 11 fishing trip.

"Have fun fishin' in Larimer County."

Thirty big C11n11d11 honkers set their wings for the final drift inlo 11 corn field east of Fort Collins to join their feed­ing brothers.

Ten years ago the scene pictured above would have been 11 ra re occurrence in Larimer County. Now, howeve r, it is II scene th111 Larimer County huriters can look forward to from Mid-November to Mid-January each year.

In 1958 the only geese in Larimer County were occ11-sion11I migrants that stayed 11 day or two and moved on sou th . Now there is 11 resident flock of Can11dt1 geese num­bering around 5,000 birds.

This flock was established by the Color.:tdo Game, Fish and Parks Oep11rtment by raising goslings and prov iding sanctuary for them at Jakes around Fort Collins.

As the flock g rew ii began to allract geese migrating from the north. The santtuary afforded by an area closed to hunt ing and an 11bund11nt food supply caused many of :~::~ migrants fo spend the winter in the t.,rimer County

Such measures have provided excellent hunt ing where none existed before. During the p"st season the Colorado Game, Fisli "nd Parks Department issued nearly 4 000 goose hunting permits for this special area. Hunters 'har­:~'.ed 1,184 geese from the 10,000 present during the sea-

II!. grandeur is primeval, enchanting and eterntil for here !rod the aborigines of America, the explorer, the ad­venturer and now the seeker ·of solitude and escape from the burdens of lhe world. No man, ii is s11id, c11n carry his rr11v11il into this unspoiled wilderness; it is replaced by the serenity of one of nature's most magnificent extraiv11g11nz:11s.

Prairie Divide, 10 miles northe,st of Red Feather lakes village presents an intriguing fi rst impression of this en­chanting area. This t11rge mound of gravel, day and rock was once the debris of an enormous glacier.

Chambers Lake, created by an awesome e'rthqu11ke 11bouT 1100 A.O. teems with history. Cross-ties were cut on its banks 11nd floated down the Laramie and Poudre riv­ers to be laid ur.der rails as The Union Pacific inched west­ward.

The Cirques, 11 glacially carved formation resembling a mummy wiTh folded arms and a patch of snow for an eye, can be seen only from Pennock Pass but ii is a sight well worth the drive fronl Buckhorn Canyon-the drive ilse!f is an impressive adventure.

'" Corral Park, an old cow camp high in the wilderneS$, was once 11 raucous hell-for-le3Ther outpost.

There is more than scenery and memories in this gre111 heritage. A wide variety of wood products are harvested under regulated t imber practices. Cattle grazing in lush mountain meadows provides economic stability for region­al ranchers. Colorado's STiiie animal, The Bighorn Sheep, offers sportsmen the ultima!e in hunting challenge

But surpassing all else, wa ter for val ley cities, towns 11nd flatland farming is !he Roosevelt Forest's mo!.t impor­tant product.

Nearly all of the Cache la Poudre river i!. open to public fishing. It offers 5ome of the best fly waters in the Wes!.

You won't catch minnow-sized trout in this fast-moving glacial river. In fact in one area all Rainbows under 12 it"tChes must be returned lo the water.

In addition lo delicious Rainbows, Browns and Cut­throats can be caught by an angler who knows how 10 oul­wilh these wily fighters.

There are re11f lunkers of all species lurking in the Poudre's deepest depths. If one of these enormous trout takes your fly or spinner you will need the utmost skill -and a good measure of luck - lo bring h im in.

RED FEATHER LAKES AREA

Red Feather is n11ture's own playground, a place where carefree vacationists ere in love not only with their geo­graphy but with the way they play. For here is the West as it was and must 11lw11ys be---untrammeled, unexploited. Happy sounds are everywhere ... vacationing families . wi ld animals tha t will let you take their pictures . . s11ucy magpies . the enticing plop of 11 rainbow on the spark· ling surface of e crystal clear glacial lake.

You cannot help but look 111 Red Feather and wonder how ii could have happened for here is nature's crowning glory-thousands of enchanting acres of evergreen foll:!sls, flowered meadows, awesome rock formations, racing trout streams, invigon1tihg high-country atmosphere, illZUre skies, golden sun endowments of the Rockies' most beautiful geography.

Everywhere are nature's treasures for this is splendor the way !he Creator made it. You will be awed by the magnitude of Red Feather's dimensions and its aesthetic charm. Ifs scenery, access roads and accommodations are unsurpassed.

The Red Feather area was first visited by a white man in the person of John Pingree in 1 B6B. Pingree, an early explorer, trapper, and woochm11n, was impressed by the beauty of the area and returned many times. His name still is applied to a hill and steep grade of a county road in the vicinity. Active promotion of the Red Feather area started in 1921 with the plalling of extensive summer home areas, a park and golf course, and other playgrounds. Rock gateways, the lake system, and over 500 summer homes atlest to their success over the years.

Even its his rory is most interesting. Red Feathe r was an ar istocratic Cherokee chieftan, 11 great leader of a valiant tr ibe. He was 11 noble Indian Prince- articulate, gentle and fair. But when his people were wronged he casr aside his mantle and became an invincible chieftan who led his warriors lo victory.

Bui war brought no glory to this great Prince. He did not smile when he struck down an enemy-he wept for the dead man's family. Somewhere, he told his people, the Great Spirit created 11 place for those who love peace. let us seek it, he S11id.

Many se11rches later he came upon the beautiful neck­lace of l11kes now known as Red Feather lakes, nest ling like pearls in the solitude and majesty of the high Rockies.

For the Great Prince and his people it was !he Utopia. And so ii remains for those who come today to enjoy the ' laughing happy l11kes' .

The Red Feather Mountain lakes Assoc;:ialion has held 'civilization' lit b11y feeling it would be sacrilege 10 permit !his retreat to become a neon iungle. Yet cabins and other faci lities are modern and comfortable and modestly priced.

let ii be for you, as it was for the Cherokees, the pa­radise for which many seek and so few are privileged to find.

Snaie laie

The lakes in !he Red Fe, lher village area were not always 1here, al least not in !heir present form. There may have been some small stagnant ponds in the l11ke locations, but the system of reservoirs and ditches was not built until the e11rly 1900s. Dowdy, West, and Parvin l11kes 11re the only ones in public ownership, the rest, Ramona, Hiawatha, Skagwa, Redfeather, Snake, and Letitia, are all owned by !he summer home association of Red Feather lakes. Dowdy and West lakes are on government land managed by the Forest Service and have public campgrounds around !hem. Parvin is a reservoir managed by the Colorado Department of Game, Fish and Parks for fishing use only. A number of fish production studies are carried on here also.

Fort Collins was established in 1864 when President Abraham Lincoln signed an order creating a military post to protect the Overland Stage Roule and e;:irly selllers It was named for Wm. 0. Collins, 11 colonel of the U. S. Army.

The fort was abandoned 3 years after its establishment but the community which had built up around it thrived and became the city of fort Collins.

PARK RANGER -- 1t4t /ltt 7"" ad~ "Where can I find a mountain stream with gold

nuggets?" "Is lhere any danger of Indians after dark?" These are some of the incredible quest ions vacationists

in fun-fil :ed Larimer county asked rangers of the National Park service last summer.

The tourist who asked about lhe nuggets got a candid answer. " M ister," the ranger said, "if I knew of srn::h a stream I wouldn't be a ranger."

The woman wko worried about Indians was assured that she could venture our of her camper .,fter nightfall with· ou r the slightest danger of being scalped. "Well, how do you know for sure there aren't lnditms in those forests?'' she said. "I'll bet they didn't all surrender."

The ranger, a patient man, expll!lined that even if some of the Ute warriors haid resisted ci:!pilulation back in the early '80s they would be too senile now to ~o about scalping tour­ists. "The youngest," the ranger said, "would be at least 105 years old."'

Not all queries, of course, 11re as far out as these. Most concern locations of campgrounds, fishing lakes and streams ~istances to the region's wonders and other relevant ques'. lions.

Park rangers are more lhan an information service though - they are lhe area's constabulary, naruralists, coun'. sels, wardens, fire fighters, mi:intenance men and rescue teams

T~ese are no casually employed men. like C.1nadi11n Mounhes, they have had lo pass rugged tests for character and phy~ica l _stamina. They .must be men of integrity, val­or and mtelligence. In addition they musl know the re­gion's wilderness for al any moment they may have to search ils wilds for a lost child or a hiker or a fisherman who took the wrong trail.

It is pleasant outdoor work but it isn't all fun. Watch­i~ .for game poachers is ill necessary duty. Rescue n:i1ss1ons are often long and grueling and heartbreaking. Fight ing foresr fires is dangerous and hard. Feeding snow­trapped elk and deer in frigid high-country winters is not the easiest of tasks.

Rugged? Yes, bu t rewarding too. And most of them wou ldn't have ii any other way.

1u" """ 1attlus~ In The Poudre Canyon

The canyon of the cascading Cache la Poudre river of­fen some of the most spectacular scenery in North America. A vacationist who goes home without seeing its epic gran­de;ir has done himself an injustice.

Unfortunately many do because this magnificen• can­yon is not as publicized as others in the area, and be<:ause ii is slightly "off the beaten path" for the lhousands who visil Rocky Mountain National Park via Big Thompscm and SI. Vrain Canyons.

But II few additional miles for these vacationists offers a rewarding drive amid grandeur without parallel. Drive U. S. 287 northwest from Fort Collins to Colorado Highway 14. Then turn left and begin an unforgett<'lble adventure.

In <'lddition<'ll to incredible rock formations, scented green forests, deer 11 ~d elk and, of course, the wind_ing Poudre river, concessions offer mea ls, snacks, gasoline, lodging, rental of fishing gear. Horses are av<'lilab!e for those who want to e)(p lore !his prist;ne wilderness. There 11re 11lso hiking trails.

Picnic 11re11s and public camp sites on the banks of the coscading river ore avail11ble without fee. Commerci11I oc­commodotions serve m11ny v11cationists, too, wilh modern and semi-modern cabins and other facilities.

The Poudre C11nyon is truly 11n intriguing are3 and every ye11r more families spend their entire vacations in this pa radise of rhe Rockies.

First visitors tit Sylvtin Dtile Rtinch timtiied lhtit one pltice could offer so much.

Its tiltractions tire truly of epic proportions. In the whole vast Rocky Mountain playground there is ro::ithing like it.

The reason is twofold: Sylvan Di:ile has fabulous ni:i tural endowments - 4200 acres of scenic mountains, rolling pastures, intriguing rock formtitions, and the ci:is­ci:iding Big Thompson river. Pack trips on horseback, moon­light rides with marshmallow roasts, superb trout fishing, square d tincing, hay rides, and unforgettable chuck wagon dinners are all part of the fun. In addi tion to a ll this, Syl· van Dale is a working cattle and horse ranch ond offers ex· cellent hunting in season.

And all of this is enjoyed in a hoppy, invigori:iling dim11te ... you feel better in Sylvan Dole's crisp, pine· scented mountain air.

This incomparable guest ranch is located in a glade 111 the door of mojestic Big Thompson Conyon. It is easily 11ccessible by car-it's 9 miles west of lovel11nd, Colorado on U. S. Highway 34. The r11nch's station wagon meets those who come by Train or bus.

Its location makes sight·s'l:!!ing drives from the ranch a pleasure- the monumental splendors of Rocky Mountain National P11rk, Roosevelt Notional Forest and the Big Thomp­son Canyon are practically right in !he neighbo.hood.

Sylvan Dale's accommodations are excellent. Every guest has privacy in dean, modern facililies. There are eight cabins of various sizes, rooms in the lodge and in th!;! ranch's famous Barn.

Sylvon Dale's meols are American Plan- three big de· licious meals (you develop a king-sized oppetite in mountain atmosphere) are served each day in the dining room except three times 11 week when the evening mei:il is enjoyed out­side on the banks of the scenic Thompson river. ln this

memorable setting you will feast on chuck wogon dinners, !"lawaiian luous, charco-broiled steaks, barbecued meats and fresh-caught Roinbow trout.

You con even catch your own trout for dinnerl Trout fishing is alwoys excellent at Sylvan Dale because its small lakes and rivers are stocked with challenging Rainbows for your benefit. Equipment and lures are available at the ranch. If you're on amateur you can learn the tech­nique at weekly fly costing instructions.

The F irst

Wearing Hawaiian dress and mounted on 'Birdie', her borrowed pony, a liltle middle-aged English lady, traveling alone in the autumn and early winier of 1873, made an ex­tended tour of the Rocky Mountains and Estes Park, Color­ado. She met, and assimilated, both mountains and peo­ple, in this wild land, lhat she said was "no region for lour­isfS and women". She was the first lady Bird, lady Isa· bella l. Bird, a confirmed world traveler, who had just visit­ed countries in both the Near and the Far East. She climbed Long's Peak guided by desperado Mountain J im, who enter­tained her with recitalions of poetry and cultivated conver­sation, she stayed in mountain cabins, and viewed a world of vigilance committees, lynchings, and de_speradoes ciuick on the trigger, and noted everywhere that improbable com­bination of opposites which was lh~ American We.st.

The story of her Rocky Mountain adventure, first pub­lished in a genteel British weekly in l B7B, is told through her le11ers 10 her sister. Published in book form in England in 1 B79, it went through eight editions in England and the United States, and is now available in book form, published by Daniel J. Boorstin, and the University of Oklahoma Press (New edition copyright 1960, Library of Congress Catalogue Cud Number: {60-B748). She was America's first lady Bird, and we tell the modern story of Estes Park ard the Rocky Mountains, wilh the use of some of her phrases.

As Lady Bird came into the Estes Park area, she char­acterized it as "The Great tone Land", until lately the hunt­ing ground of the Indians, and not yet settled or traversed.

She spoke of her visit here in no uncertain terms. "Estes Park is mine. It is unsurveyed, 'no man's land'; and mine by right of love, appropriation, and appreciatioo-its peerless sunrises and sunsets, its glorious afterglow, its blazing noons, its wild auroras, its glories of m::iuntains and forests, its majestis wapiti, its graceful blacktails, its superb bighorns. II is mine." Thus did the First lady Bird lay claim to part of Estes Park. Her emotions have been shar­ed down thru the years by millions more. Today Estes Park has approximarely 3100 year-round residents, 2700 non-res­ident property owners, 11nd 11n i:iverage of 45,000 daily vis· itors during the summer months.

Vacalionisls accustomed !o lakes at ground level are astonished when they drive the scenic, steadily-ascending foothills road southwest of Fort Collins then suddenly come upon incredibly beauriful Horsetooth Reservoir.

Its breathtaking charm invokes emotions of awe and incredibility for this magnificent fjord-like lake is not a natural wonder-it was created as an irrigation reserve.

Nature could not hove mode it more impressive. It is surrounded by forested, boulder-strewn mountoins of in­triguing formations and. its sparkling glacial waters, orig­inally destined for flow mlo the Pacific but diverted through the Continental Divide by a fanta~l ic complel( of lunnels, aqueducts and canals, provide fishing, boating and el(­quisi te scenery llS they snake inlo dammed-off canyons high above the farmlands they serve so well

THIS WAS THE WEST THAT WAS!

The rip-snorting Old West was just yesterdoy for Lari· mer County. Indian attacks, renegades, hoof and wheel trai ls, vig ilanles, garrisoned soldiers, bushwhacks-all these were part of this lusty county's not-so-long-ago history.

It was so recent, in fact , that hikers and el(plorers stilt occasionally find rusted old guns, skeletons of horses and men, and hide-out caves with the rotting remains of long forgol!en rendezvous.

It was inevitable in these conditions that victims ::>f om­bushes, renegades and mountain-addled old prospectors would perish leaving loot and treasure in the region·s wild-

Somewhere on a bluff near Loveland lies !he fo rtune of French-Canadian trapper Jean DesVignes who hit it rich in the gold fields near Wyoming's South Pass City.

DesVignes was riding toward Denver with two armed friends when !hey were attacked by a marauding band of Cheyennes.

DesVignes was able to stash his nugget-filled saddle bags in a crevice on a bluff near Loveland before he arid the others were cut down by the Indians.

An army quartermaster enroute from Fort Collins to Denver came upon the victims a little later. DesVignes was still alive so lhe quartermaster and his men put him into their wagon and hauled him to Denver.

He died the ned day after telling his nephew. Paul Sostelle, a Denver soloon owner, the location of his nuggets.

Sostelle seorched for yeors for the bluff with the gold­filled crevice. He died in 1922 without finding it.

Another fortune, $60,000 in gold coins, awaits some lucky finder in Larimer county. II was pay for soldiers sta­tioned at Fort Laramie and was hauled from Denver to Vir· gini11 Dale via stage coach.

.f?ott9s Peak . ... •••• IS THE SNOW-CROWNED KING OF THE COUNTY

longs Peak, giant of the Rockies' Front Range, towers over Larimer county like a mediev11/ biiron's castle on a knoll above his p rincipality.

This majestic mountain - 14,255 feet and the highest in northern Colorado - can be seen from almost every­where in the county. It is the first peak seen by the west­bound traveler as he crosses the high plains and on a smog­less day it c11n even be seen from Denver.

It offers II stirring challenge to technical climbers; its sheer east face - famed Diamond - is one of the most dif­ficult .ncents in the Uniled S1"1es.

Diamond is strictly for experts, demanding a high de­gree of technical skill dfid a generous measure of luck. To make sure that amateurs do not allempt this dangerous climb, permission is required from Rocky Mounlain National Park Rangers who wilt demand proof of compelency and alpine equipment.

But Longs Peak isn't all hazard. If you want to climb it with no more equipment thon a ~ir of hiking shoes there are two Trails available to you. One begins near Longs Peak Campground . The other, more popular because of its greater accessibility, begins at Glacier Gorge Junction on the Beor Lake rood, o hardtop circular parking area where you can leave your car.

This is a strenuous bur fun-filled climb with awe inspir­ing scenery every way you look. Stopping a t the Keyhole, a unique formorion, offers incredible vistas; the air at this

~ti:~~efo~a~a~t ~rss1~o~~;: c1~~:~s~e;(~~hth~a~~~a111 ~~~~b!~ the east. Look other directions and you will see the gran­deur of one of the Rockies' most majestic panoramas . snow-capped peaks, dense green forests, cascad ing rivers, Isabelle and Arapahoe glaciers, ond grotesque rock fo rma­tions that are sheer geologic fantasies.

Most amateurs terminate their cl imb at Keyhole, from here it is more work than fun. Bui if you want to continue you climb up the Trough and across a narrow ledge apt ly named Narrows, then up Homestrelch to the windswept summit of mighty Longs.

Here you will be assailed by the exhilarating feel ing of being on top of the world, for every way you look is down.

GET Off THE DRAGS!

You will miss many of Larimer county's most spectacu· lar dr ives if you stay on the 'main' highways

Venture onto secondary roads and enjoy wildlife and geologic features you con'! see fro.m highw.,ys which were laid out for the fostest, most efficient travel.

To see wme of the region's most commanding splendor turn off U. S. 34 al Drake and drive to Glen Haven, an en­chanting little olpine village nestled in a high counTry valley.

On the way you will parallel the roaring North Fork river amid cliffs, forests and impressive granite formations.

The road extends beyond Glen Haven through two of the region 's most spectacular 'S' Turns, all the while asc.en.d­ing through epic scenery until you come lo Estes Park via its 'back door'.

Begin another imposing drive at the Dam Store on U. S. 34 wes! of Loveland. Proceed past famed Sylv11ndale Ranch onto the mountain's flank above the Thompson River to Big Dam and Falls. Cross the T~ompson a t the fi rst bridge and follow the road through M1ssou.ri Canyon to Ma­sonville Junction. Then turn east and en1oy the brief but impressive drive lo the Fjords of Colorado - Horsetooth Reservoir. Travel east to U. S. 287 "nd turn north to Fort Co llins or south to toveland.

For a third intriguing drive through rugged nature pro­ceed west of Loveland on U. S. 34 to the Carter Lake turnoff (wuth). Follow this rood past the Carter Lake junction 1hrough oscending turns and exotic green granite formations.

At the first turnout you will have a spectacular lookout view from 2,000 feet obove the valley. From here you tan see Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley 11nd several villages far out on the Great Ploins.

You will atw see Lake Loveland and at le,st 20 other la kes from this impelling place.

Now continue to ascend. Soon you will come lo ma­jestic Pinewood, a lake 'on top of the world'. You can pic­n ic on its sandy shores. You can fish for high country trout in its deep blue waler. Or you can just sit and look at its incredible selling amid pines and rock formations.

space science. This CSU unit also includes the U. S. Army's meteorological wind tunnel, the only such installation in lhe world.

Also localed in !lie fluid dynamics and diffusion labor­at~ry i~ a ~pace chamber-the only one of ils kind at any university in lhe world. Here, CSU is doing advanced re­search in the developmenl of an electric propulsion system for interplanel.:try s~cecrafl and salellites for the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA).

Aware of the possibility of wealher control and the potential benefits to 1hose whose work is affected by it, CSU researchers are also working in this area. In fact, a new $745,0<:>? three-story atmospheric s~ience building was opened in 1967. The geographic location al the foothills of the ~olorado Rockies offers an ideal setting for study of the various factors which influence weather.

CSU's atmospheric research is not confined to local con­diTions, but rather is world-wide and covers all types of di­ma!es .and terrain. _ 11 exTends to outer space as part of The nations ~pace satellite program. On earth it is involved in such basics to humanity as The problems of municipal air pollution.

Also on the Foothills Campus is the Radiation and En­vironmental Stresses L.:tboratory. In addition to directly supporting the total research program of the school's staff scientists and doctoral candidates, the facility is utilized by the USPHS-CSU Collaborative Radiological He31th Animal Research Laboratory and the study of the effects of low levels of radiation on a large colony of beagle dogs

Construction is underway on the U. S. Public Health Service's $1.3 million Communicable Disease Center at CSU. The three-story office-laboratory facility will be located on

some 14.5 acres of land and will be the headquarters for the communicable disease programs in many western states.

Primary concern at the new facility will be resei:trch on the ecology i:tnd control of communicable diseases such as encephalitis, plague, tuli:tremii:t, Colorado tick fever and streptoccocal infections.

Other facilities at the Foothills Campus include the Surgical-Metabolic laboratory, Colorado Forest Service Nur­sery and o ther smaller agricultural laboratories and research areas.

Some $2.9 million of !he total research during the last year was carried out by the Colorado Agricultural Experi­ment Station al the eight branch stations located throughout the state as well as at the main station at Forl Collins.

Colorado Stale University also participates in education­al and research pr09r11ms on the international scene.

Operating under contracts or grants administered by the Agency for International Development {AID), one such project is the SEATO Gradu111e School of Engineering in Bangkok, Thailand.

Since 1959, CSU h11s received more than $3.7 million to develop a plan, provide some operating and equipmenl funds, supply a majority of the faculty and supervise stu­dent participants in the U.S. for the SEATO school.

The ultimate obje:tive of This project is to transform the school into an independent regional instituTion covering a much broader scope of subject mailer. That goal will be realized in part during the coming year, when the SEATO school will become the Asian Institute of Technology.

Since 1964 CSU has also received some $2.1 million for .:tn agricultural assis tance program in Eastern Nigeria. The main goal in this program is to upgrade Nigeria's extension service organization and its agricultural research capability.
