about 22 sq. miles of the best
high int. country. Not even enough
water comes down the Colorado
to keep fish by the Phantom
Range. The normal supply of
water is supposed to flow right
down the Colorado, but every
flood gate in the canal was
closed.
The Never Summer Range
extension is very scenic and a
fine place for horseback trips.
At present it is not of great
value for game, but it will
very probably become a great
elk and deer country. It
follows a natural boundary
and serves as a better game
refuge than the old boundary
fence arrangement, whereby
the normal water flow can
be obtained in the Colorado,
must be sought.
