As this photograph illustrates, there were some functions, such as horse patrol, for which the 1970 Woman's uniform was totally inadequate. This image shows a mounted woman ranger at Point Reyes National Seashore, California, in 1972, the year the Seashore was established. She is wearing a man's short jacket and trousers. The saddle blanket cover is also interesting. It is green and white with "NPS" in the lower rear corner. NPSHPC - Cecil W Stoughton photo - HFC#72-499-24

Dene Pritchett, Mesa Verde National Park, 1974. This poor quality photograph is the only image found showing the 1972 Woman's "small badge" being worn. It can just be made out on the left side of her blouse. This picture must have been shot just prior to the badges being recalled and stricken from the books. She is holding a "Johnny Horizon" banner. This program was instigated by the Department of the Interior to spruce up the country for the upcoming American Bicentennial in 1976. NPSHPC - HFC#98-22

A woman ranger wearing her 1974 Class A uniform, complete with hat, assists NPS Director Gary E. Everhardt (1975-1977) lay a wreath at the Lincoln Memorial during the Bicentennial. NPSHPC - Fred R. Bell photo - HFC#76-39-4-23
