384 as to indicate domestic sheep grazing lined the hills around the parks. This section of the country presents magnificent scenery, is ideal wild life ranging summer & furs bearers habitat, and should, I think, be within the parks. It would remove civilization influences, a step further back from sheep, elves & fur bearers. There is no winter range within the parks on the west side however and territory southwest of Grand Lake & around [illegible] Mt.) would be a necessary correlate of additional summer range. No elves are known of in this area. Returning over Trail Ridge at sunset we saw one ptarmigan (plumage still splashed with white) near the summit, one doe above Poudre Lake various jackrabbits all along the road and 14 elks grazing above timberline on the Forest Canyon side, about 1 mile east of the summit.
