Big game, and in fact all wild life, begin to 

 increase in numbers and also to allow them- 

 selves to be seen from the instant they receive 

 the complete protection which parks afford. 

 This park will thus assure a multiplication of the 

 various kinds of wild life which the region now 

 contains. And this increased wild life, with no 

 hunters to alarm, will allow itself to be readily 

 seen. 



There are only a few miles of road within the 

 Park boundaries, but the Fall River Road, now 

 under construction across the Continental Di- 

 vide at Milner Pass, just south of Specimen 

 Mountain, will be a wonderful scenic highway. 

 Although there are a number of trails in the 

 Park, so broken is the topography that most 

 of the country a stone's throw away from them 

 is unvisited and unknown. 



A road skirts the western boundary of the 

 Park and touches it at Grand Lake and Speci- 

 men Mountain. Another road closely parallels 

 the eastern boundary-line, and from it a half- 

 dozen roads touch the Park. This parallel road 

 reaches the roads of Denver and of the plains
