Between El Tovar & Desert View
June 4, 1933.
The area east of the village over-
browzed in the past shows recovery
obtained in the last 2-3 years. Cowania,
sagebrush, the little jakes, service-
berry, young yellow pines, etc., are
showing new herbage on the lower
browzed limbs. In general all
the area south and east of the
village which I saw is improving.
There is an area covering perhaps
5 miles east & west along the pine
road, near Grand View, near the
water holes, which is severely
overgrazed at present. This is
the concentration area of Buggelin's
cattle. Cowania is just about as
hard as on the Kaibabi winter
range. Cales, & all else, is browzed
to stubble.
Brookes reports that Buggelin
browzes runs 400 head of cattle
from south entrance road, east to
Lippins Point, 5 months of the
year - June 1 - Oct. 31. This, in lieu
of 200 cattle all year, as former
Babbits run 110 head west of village.
900 head of sheep also perambulated
in western portion of park.
