About This Book

A troop of young scouts and their adult leaders undertake an ambitious camping expedition into the Rocky Mountains, outfitting for travel and moving by wagon, pack animals, and canoe. The narrative follows episodic outdoor adventures: difficult mountain trails and ascents, a mysterious nocturnal excursion by a guide, a thrilling canoe trip, separation and getting lost in rugged badlands, survival during a blizzard and a forest fire, and the subsequent effort to find their way back to the city. Throughout, the group develops practical wilderness skills, resourcefulness, and cooperative resolve while confronting natural hazards and unexpected encounters.
