The utility and value of any National Forest resource must be examined 

 within the context of the multiple use principle. The timber resource pictured here 

 on the shores of Dollar Lake in the Uinta Wilderness is an example. Although 

 this lake is about 10 miles from the nearest road, hundreds of persons travel by 

 foot or on horseback to it each summer. To exclude this lake from analysis of the 

 timber resource would be as unrealistic as to exclude the timber from considera- 

 tion of the recreation resource. More than 2,000 lakes and ponds are scattered 

 through the North Slope area; nearly 400 of them are larger than 1 acre.
