Enos Mills, the naturalist whose campaigning helped create Rocky Mountain National Park, recounts twenty years of rambles in the Colorado Rockies, latterly alone and without a gun. He climbs the high peaks in winter as the state snow observer, reads the thousand-year story of an old pine, watches beavers at their works and follows his dog Scotch into a standoff with coyotes.
Warm, observant nature writing in the line of John Muir, a delight for hikers and lovers of the American West. Download the free EPUB.
