In many areas on the winter range the vegetation has been so depleted that an abnormal amount of erosion is taking place .. carried on by wind. This is shown very well in the photograph near the crest of Mount Everts where the wind has been blowing the soil away because there is insufficient vegetation to hold it in place. Locality: Mount Everts, Yellowstone National Park. Negative #: 14126-3
