Vegetative screening - does the area have diversity of grasses, <br />trees, shrubs? If so, in what ways? How thick are these areas <br />of vegetation? <br /> <br />2. Topographic features. <br /> <br />3. Configuration of area. <br /> <br />4. Size in comparison to topographic features. <br /> <br />5. Vastness verses intimacy. <br /> <br />Primitive and Unconfined Type of Recreation <br /> <br />Examples of primitive and unconfined types of recreation are: <br /> <br />Hiking, backpacking, fishing, hunting, spelunking, horseback <br />riding, mountain or rock climbing, river running, cross country <br />skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, photography, bird watching, <br />canoeing, kayaking, sailing, and sightseeing for botanical, <br />zoological, or geological features. <br /> <br />For each outstanding opportunity for recreation activity to which an area <br />lends itself (future opportunity besides present use), identify the locations <br />on a map, and supply data on seasons and current amount of use the area is <br />receiving if available. <br /> <br />0952 <br />
