Last Chance Creek

1912

1996

Description:

Plate 36. LAST CHANCE CREEK: 1912 - 1996 Pinyon (Pinus edulis) and juniper (Juniperus sp.) have increased since 1912 throughout the photograph, as would be expected in the absence of fire. This view is down a tributary of Last Chance Creek and shows the Limestone Cliffs and Deer Peak with the Wasatch Plateau in the distance. Judging from pellet groups, the area in the for-ground and mid-ground received little use by cattle but was heavily utilized by elk.
