 National Park. (1911.) 



Probable total of visitors, 4,500. 



The Crater Lake Co. contemplates building a fine hotel on the 

 rim of the lake. 



There was located and surveyed a proposed road completely 

 encircling the lake. For most of the distance this road will be 

 immediately upon the rim of the crater, and when it shall have 

 been completed it will be beyond question one of the grandest 

 scenic roads in the world. 



Crater Lake is well stocked with rainbow trout; those caught 

 are usually from fourteen to twenty inches in length, and some 

 have been caught twenty-four or twenty-six inches long and 

 weighing six or seven pounds.

Extracts from Report of the Acting Superintendent of the 

 YosEMiTE National Park. (1911.)

 and, while it is impracticable because of the snow to ascend 

 any of the trails up to the rim of the valley, the principal 

 roads on the floor of the valley are passable. 



It is gratifying to be able to report that there have been 

 no serious forest fires in the park this season. The few that 

 occurred were discovered Before they had spread and were 

 promptly extinguished. 



The deer, bear, grouse, and quail continue to increase. Many 

 coyotes were destroyed last winter by poison after the bears 

 went into hibernation. 



The measures adopted for driving the bears out of Yosemite 

 Valley proved in a great degree successful, and but little 

 annoyance to campers was caused by them this season. 



Thirty-two cans cantaining about 62,000 Loch Leven, Rain- 

 bow, and Eastern Brook trout were received July 20th at El
