6 <br />Yampa and White River Tour <br />June 22 -24, 2005 <br />More than 45 tour attendees from all over the state toured the Yampa and White river valleys June 22 -24. <br />Participants heard from a variety of water resource managers on topics ranging from endangered species, <br />oil and gas issues, recreation and irrigation management. They visited the Nature Conservancy's globally <br />rare riparian forest at Carpenter Ranch, and received a special tour of the tunnels underneath Stagecoach <br />Reservoir. Evenings were filled with barbeques and great opportunities to socialize and network with other <br />tour attendees. The final day included a float down the Yampa River or fly- fishing activities. <br />Don't miss out next year when the Foundation tours the headwaters of three major Colorado rivers— <br />the Arkansas, Colorado and South Platte! <br />(Clockwise from top) A float down the <br />Yampa River near Hayden gave every- <br />one an opportunity to see the river up <br />close, including a bald eagle sighting. <br />Tour attendees watch water flow over <br />the spillway at Stagecoach Reservoir. <br />The reservoir had started spilling <br />only days before. Inside the dam at <br />Stagecoach Reservoir, Upper Yampa <br />Water Conservancy District Manager <br />John Fetcher took the group on a spe- <br />cial guided tour of the facilities. <br />
