ECONOMY IN ROCKY
MOUNTAIN REGION
 Economy and Natural
Resources
Exploitable mineral deposits (lead, zinc, copper, silver, gold) are
sparsely dispersed throughout the entire system. The principal
mining centers are Leadville and Cripple Creek, Colo.; the
Butte-Anaconda district of Montana; Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; and
the Kootenay Trail region of British Columbia. In the 1970s oil
shale found in the Rocky Mt. area led to an oil industry that
spurred city and state growth, especially in Colorado; by the
mid-1980s, the industry was already in decline.
Vast forests, largely under government control and supervision,
are a major natural resource.
Tourism is based on abundant natural attractions and outdoor
recreation and has become the most vigorous part of the
region's economy. Resort communities have been established
to cater to the region's tourist industry, and their population
often grows exponentially during peak tourist seasons. Skiing
is the dominant winter season activity. In the summer, tourists
flood the region to visit points of interest, such as Pikes Peak,
Royal Gorge, Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone
National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and Glacier
National Park.
