Thompson 171. Rocky Mt. Natl. Park Never Summer Range June 24, 1931. 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.
