Ghostly Indian pictographs on a Utah canyon wail.

DESERT WONDERLAND. Picture a seemingly endless des-ert, surrounded by mountain ranges and branching into sixStates. This is the Great Basin, a sunken desert with nooutlet to the sea. It appears isolated and desolate. But is it?Look closely

The desert comes to life even in the driest seasons.With very little moisture, it can produce a floral carpet.dotted with the brightest colors. Look for the Joshua tree.the strange yucca. or the little scurrying desert animalswhose strange forms and habits are shaped by their harshenvironment.

The GREAT BASINBut the Great Basin also belongs to man. Ancient

Indians inscribed petroglyphs - rock writings - and painted

their pictographs on lonely cliffs, depicting their hunting

exploits. Later, settlers built mining towns and wore well-

known trails further westward.

This country. perhaps at first uninviting, has much tooffer the visitor. Its mountains, canyons, and trails arescenic attractions. Modern facffities for fishing, camping,boating, and other sports are available and there is recreationfor every taste and interest.

SOUTHERN & CENTRAL CALIFORNIA

LAND OF CONTRASTS. The highest and lowest places inthe contiguous United States are within sight of each otherin California. Mount Whitney rises to 14,495 feet. Relativelya few miles away is Death Valley, whose lowest point is 280feet below sea level Within this varied land can be found allbut one - the tropical - of the world's climatic zones.

The predominant feature of the public lands in South-ern California is the vast desert panorama, framed by rug-gedly beautiful mountains. Desert flowers grow in abun-dance after rare spring rains, softening the stark landscapewith color.

High on the western slope of the Sierra, the forestedwilderness forms a buffer zone for the valley floor. Herecanyons that once produced untold millions in gold are nowa playground. The Sierra's eastern slope, one of the mostprecipitous in the country. plummets into Owens Valley,where hundreds of sparkling trout streams are replenishedby the eternal snow.

And in the foothills of the coastal ranges stretchesgrassland country where the hunter will find deer and quail.

This is California's invitation to enjoy endless recreationvariety.

JOHNNY HORIZON'S GUIDESFOR OUTDOOR TRAVEL

Johnny Horizon is the symbolic outdoorsman whosemessage to all visitors to the public lands is "This landis your land - keep it clean." The 450 million acresof public lands are for all visitors to enjoy. Becausethese lands belong to all citizens, each has a responsibil-ity to use them with care and respect and to protect themfrom littering, vandalism, and other abuse.

Johnny Horizon also has some suggestions to offer tomake your stay in the West a safe and enjoyable one.

Thorough planning is essential for hiking and camp-ing trips. If you depart from main routes, let someoneknow your approximate schedule. Take a good map,compass, first aid kit, rations, water, and extra clothing.

Distances across undeveloped country are often esti-mated "as the crow flies" and may be greater than judged.Inquire at nearby towns for directions when travellingthrough undeveloped lands.

Obey State hunting and fishing regulations; they pro-vide for sportsmen by protecting wildlife populations.

Some tracts of public land may be reached only bycrossing private lands. Be sure to obtain permissionbefore crossing private property. Such entry is a privilegearid should be respected. Follow the private land owner'scode: leave gates and fences as you find them, open orclosed.

Campfires should be placed where they can be extin-guished easily. Be sure that your fire is out before youleave.

Vehicles can cause rutting or erosion of the land whentravelling off roads. Be careful when cross-country travelis your adventure. Take special care when you travelout-of-the-way routes such as log haul roads.

Be careful around any wild creatures; their reactionsto excitement or interference are unpredictable.

Ruins and artifacts on the public land can not beremoved for souvenirs. They belong to all citizens andare protected by the Federal Antiquities Act.

Respect public facifities at picnic areas, campgrounds,and other spots. Help protect them by reporting van-dalism.

Be on the lookout for uneven terrain, unmarked roads,and abandoned mine workings. Keep alert for safety.

The Johnny Horizon Outdoor Pledge sums up thethoughtful visitor's determination to insure that otherswill have a chance to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.On your trip, pledge to treat these lands as you wouldyour own - because they do belong to all Americans.

You can obtain a useful Johnny Horizon litterbag foryour travel use at BLM offices.
