According to Lee Dittmann, cattle sometimes trespass in the park from adjacent ranches, and you can help reduce their impact by reporting them to park staff. Take note of the color of the cattle and other distinguishing features such as ear tags (left, right, or both ears), clipped ears, and of course the location. This will help the ranger contact the owner so that the cattle can be removed." You might see cattle legally grazed on the slopes of Hunting Hollow however. This picture is takend along the East Fork of Coyote Creek and according to Lee Dittmann this area has been an area that has frequently had a problem with tresspassing cattle. Please, tell the ranger. You'll probably be wanting water from this creek someday.

I have often seen cows in the National Forest lands run by the Feds, which makes me wonder about the paperwork that I have when hiking in the National Forest. In particular the part that talks about minimum impact. Especially after I lost the trail while hiking in the Carson-Iceberg wilderness. There were so many cows that they had wiped out the trail. And then there was the cow camp at Bullfrog Lake. If I'm suppose to camp 100 feet away from the water shouldn't they do the same?
