Ran across this vid from 1971. Maybe the parts they don't let us visit are because of water? Or are the pools just seasonal? Also found some info that state the lexington arch may not even be an arch but is actually a bridge. I find it interesting the scientists don't know for sure.

I'd love an explanation of why the Park doesn't have bears. Seems like suitable habitat.
Hmmm, now I read there are no bears in the entirety of the Great Basin? Thats going to require some more research, tomorrow.

Found some very interesting maps on bear habitat in NV. Appears that they don't exist in the Great Basin is largely, if not completely true. I'd never have guessed it. Even the historical range is pretty spotty.
