This comprehensive, illustrated guide explores the natural history of the Southern Rocky Mountains -- a rugged area that includes the Sangre de Cristo, Sawatch, Never Summer, San Juan, and other... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Benedict draws from countless sources and personal experience in this book to assemble the most complete handheld book on the Southern Rockies. If you live in Colorado and consider yourself a naturalist, this should already be on your shelf, and in your backpack as you trek around. I use mine so much I had to tape the cover to protect it. The writing is crisp and factual, yet engrossing. Coverage is complete: from geology to ornithology, botany to meteorology, it's all here in ample detail for the interested lay person. Highly recommended... one of the best in class.
