HIDDEN VALLEY WINTER SPORTS AREA, Rocky Mountain National Park. The Hidden Valley winter sports area, 12 miles west of Estes Park where the park headquarters are located, has been newly developed; and further improvements are in progress.

The Secretary of the Interior has supported the National Park Service in its opposition to a tramway here. Not only would such a tramway be a distinct scar on the landscape and out of keeping with national park development standards, but it is not needed for public enjoyment since the Trail Ridge Road through the valley makes it easily accessible.

ROPE TOW AT SULPHUR WORKS SKI AREA, Lassen Volcanic National Park. Winter sports at Lassen are centered near the Sulphur Works Checking Station in the southwestern corner of the park. Facilities consist of a ski tow and a warming house where hot lunches and refreshments may be purchased and skis and ski accessories rented.

CLIMBERS ENJOY THE VIEW, Olympic National Park. Climbers high on Mount Olympus pause to enjoy the view of icefields and mountains. Many peaks in the park may be climbed safely by the novice; others should be attempted only by, or with, experienced climbers. For their personal protection climbing parties are requested to register at the ranger station on their route. There they may secure advice as to the type of climb suited to their capabilities.
