Book Description
Excerpt from Rocky Mountain National Park Seasonal Handbook, 1998 With the lt century quickly approaching, the Park's scenic beauty, relatively small size, and proximity to Colorado's heavily populated Front Range present the greatest challenge, balancing visitor use with resource protection. Named in 1988 as among America's top ten most threatened parks by the Wilderness Society, Rocky Mountain National Park has made a concerted effort to strengthen traditional partnerships and to forge new ones as a strategy to counter ongoing funding and staffing constraints. The staff of Rocky Mountain National Park exhibits a remarkable degree of flexibility and openness to new ideas. A willingness to invest in automated data processing hardware and software has kept the Park current with new technology. As a result, Rocky has served as the field testing site for new computer and administrative initiatives because of its program capabilities, the professional competency of its staff, and an openness to try new things. Furthermore, the staff is willing to look beyond immediate needs to determine budgetary and staffing consequences of today's decisions. This receptiveness to look at the long-range effects of today's decisions makes Rocky Mountain National Park an exciting environment in which to test new ideas against the litmus of balancing visitor use against resource preservation.
