The Rockies: Pillars of a Continent by Scott ThybonyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
As expected from National Geographic, beautiful field photography decorates this book and much of it full-page. In the text, the author hikes and camps and visits the locales and people of the range from its southern to northern extremities. Along the way, he visits ghosts of this region, such as the path of Lewis & Clark, and the cabins of both Kit Carson and Enos Mills>/a>, Father of Rocky Mountain National Park. Many of the living denizens, like an octogenarian activist, arthritic nomadic Indian, and retired smokejumper seem to also suggest ways of live fading into history.
