Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is an excellent book: full of history, information, stories, and insights about the Rocky Mountains. I read it during a recent trip to the Rockies. Not only did it increase my excitement about going to and being in the mountains (at one point I read it while sitting next to a lake in Rocky Mountain National Park at 10,000 feet with an afternoon storm coming in), but it made me think about them in ways I had not previously considered. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who cares about this wonderful part of the world.
