Bush Administration Plan to Remove Wolf Protections Draws Criticism

If a wolf turns up in Rocky Mountain National Park, it will be protected by the Endangered Species Act. But plans by the Bush administration to remove ESA protection from Yellowstone's wolves could make it incredibly hard for the predators to migrate down to Colorado.

A Rocky Mountain National Park Holiday Ornament

Jim Disney created this ornament for Rocky Mountain National Park. An accomplished artist, Disney is also an accomplished mountaineer who knows the park’s backcountry intimately. Known primarily for his mountain landscapes, Disney chose a snowy nighttime scene of the park’s most prominent mountains, Longs Peak and Mount Meeker, with a foreground of evergreens lit up with colored lights, to grace the ornament. He gold-leafed the ornament and antiqued it, burnishing it to a beautiful mellow glow. On the back he wrote, “Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All - Rocky Mountain National Park.”
