US Map of the national park

A Topographic Map of the Rocky Mountain National Park

Important features and landforms  The Loch  Otis Peak  Bear Lake  Glacier Knobe  Andrews Pass  Ptarmigan Pass  Emerald Lake  Chaos Canyon

When and why did the Rocky Mountain National Park come to be?  The year was 1909 and a man named Enos Mills (lodge owner, naturalist and nature guide) championed the nation’s tenth national park. He hoped that when he is at rest beneath some wonderful pines that many other families would find peace and joy and this wonderful attraction. He spent many years lecturing and writing letters to people and leaders to influence them in his idea. Some agreed and disagreed, so there were many different opinions. But then finally, on January 26 th, 1915, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Rocky Mountain National Park Act. As soon as it was under business, many workers and lodge keepers started to make many trails and attractions for visitors. And it began to be very successful, as it still is today.

Important landforms and features  Bear lake-Covered with snow or bare with nothing, it is one of the most wonderful lakes In the national park. It provides water for many animals like bears or buffalo.  Dream lake-Very quiet here late at night when the sun sets, it is a easy location to travel to and will provide you and others with plenty of fish.  Glacier creek-A marvelous shiny stream of water flows down a large slope in the forest. It provides water and glory for it’s visitors and contains 450 waterways.  Longs peak-A very glorious attraction which is the highest mountain in the national park. It provides a great view and a long, 16 mile round trip.  Colorado river-A great attraction that many rafters enjoy. It provides water for animals and fun for people. You may spot a moose or to long the way! It is highly suggested.  Nymph lake-A lily pad covered wondrous attraction which is shiny and contains lots of water and fish for the animals. It is very cool!

Extra info for landforms  Throughout millions of years most of the national park has formed  Millions of years of erosion by water, ice and other things, have formed the mountains that are their right now.  The Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the highest national parks ever. It’s wonderful mountains are about 12,000 feet high and provides a great view. They have formed over thousands of years and are continuing to grow.

Environmental issues affecting the park  Climate change-This affects many things in the park. For one, spring snow melts faster than usual so that causes less water in the summer. Many animals may lose water or any resource faster and it will also affect the timing of natural events.  Air Quality-At the park, air quality is a big issue. First, it can affect the quality of the water and plants, if lots pollution enters the park, animals or plants could die of sickness. It could also cause people to be sick. They get so much air pollution because they are down wind of factories and many roads. They are now trying to help.  Water Quality-Water quality is also a big issue. If the water is polluted or affected, fish or animals that drink from the water can get sick or die. Many are trying to help this problem and to not pollute things. This could also decrease the population and be non attractive.  Human activities- Human activities is probably the biggest issue for the park. First of all. Humans can do major damage like polluting the water and air which is unhealthy, our manufacturing companies affect it too. People are trying very hard now to help out and cleanse the park. Because soon, everything could be gone. (Natural disasters like floods and tornados could destroy habitats in the park also and affect many things)
