About this sound
Stephen Leek was a hunting guide and elk conservationist. He built a lodge in 1927. All that remains is the chimeney.
Why parks record sound
The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
