Published to celebrate the 40th anniversary of America's Wilderness Act, instituted in 1964, this volume contains large-format color photos of the wealth of peaks, pristine alpine lakes and meadows, rocky cliffs, creeks, and waterfalls of Colorado's mountain ranges. The photos were taken by Fielder, the founder of Westcliffe, and a remarkably devoted hiker, given the impressive number, size, and altitude of the places included. He has included often chatty descriptive captions for each photo. The names of the ranges appear on a clear sheet that lays over a map at the beginning of the book. The volume, which has faux-granite covers, is oversize: 13.25x12.25". Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
