ILLUSTRATIONS

In the late 1950s, conservationists worried that logging might beome a common scene in the Stehekin Valley if the region were left under U.S. Forest Service management. Timber harvests were on the increase throughout the North Cascades after World War II, as suggested by the steam donkey skidding logs in the Glacier Peak country in the early 1960s, and led to calls to preserve the North Cascades as a national park.
