About This Book

The narrative chronicles a small party's camping, fishing, and river travel through high mountain parks and passes, describing trail life, the care and movement of pack animals, tents, meals, and the steady efforts of fellow travelers who manage the outfit. Episodes range from lake and stream fishing to running challenging river rapids, crossing high passes and glaciers, and coping with weather and rough trails. Interwoven are vivid landscape sketches, practical outdoor detail, light humor about personalities and mishaps, and illustrated scenes of alpine meadows, lakes, and rock slides that together convey the rhythms and pleasures of extended wilderness travel.
