Sunnyside Creek originates at <br />Sunnyside Lake in the White River National Forest. The elevation range within the site is from 2400 to 2553 <br />m {8000 to 8510 ft). It enters the moderately narrow floodplain and flows southward to its confluence with the <br />Colorado River. The site is a 3.2 km (2 mi) stretch along Sunnyside Creek that supports a narrow band of <br />willow. There is moderate to heavy grazing that occurs throughout the site evidenced by the browse/rub fines <br />on the willows and numerous cow trails on each side of the creek. <br />Kev Environmental Factors <br />No Data <br />Climate Description <br />No Dafa <br />Land Use History <br />No Data <br />Cultural Features <br />No Data <br />Site Map Y -Yes <br />Designer Culver, D.R. <br />Date 01 <br />Boundary Justification <br />Boundary encompasses the elements and provides a buffer of 1000 feet. <br />Primary Area 826 43 Acres 334.45 Hectares <br />s~ t ?;~` '~-+l~-.>F~s`SITE,;S~G~TI~FICANC,~ _ ~k <br />opyng t ~ o ora o tae niversrty. o ora o aura entage rogram. ig is eserve . <br />Print Date 10 I'r'?006 <br />
