must, therefore, use hazardous, dusty roads in reaching the 

 developed section of the park. 



A complete road system has been planned for the park. This 

 system will open the entire resources of the park area to the 

 public. It consists of one main road and several secondary 

 roads. 



The main road will direct the bulk of the travel along a line, 

 which extends through as great a variety of conditions in the 

 park as possible. Along this main road will naturally be de- 

 veloped the intensive uses of the park. After careful study 

 it has been decided that the best location for this principal 

 thoroughfare is along the line shown on the plan for the park. 

 This road approaches the park from the two logical points of 

 entrance — Salamanca and Quaker Bridge. From the former 

 point the road soon reaches the northern end of the chief ridge 

 in the park, the top of which it follows. At frequent ipoints 

 along the route of this proposed road fascinating, extensive 

 views of the surrounding country appear. At two points along 

 this route observation stations are suggested. One of these 

 will be a roadside observatory, the other will be a fire lookout, 

 which is suggested for the highest known point in the park and 

 which will be attainable from the main road by short travel on 

 a side trail. At a section along the southern boundary of the 

 park this proposed road arrives at a broad, level highland.
