I am a big fan of outdoor travel books. And WOW. From the very first page of this book. I felt special. Like the hand drawn maps were included just for me. What a nice touch.

I truly am a lover of the documentary type style. And, while this story is an inventive retelling of exploration throughout many well known parks, and some lovely out of the way vistas, I did not expect it to be so funny.

But life is often more complicated than simple. The whole section on the canopy of cottonwoods and the photos in Grandpa's garage, was so beautifully written, it made me cry for about two chapters.
