Walking in Wildness: A Guide to the Weminuche Wilderness

The current main Amazon description for this book is just the author's name. Not helpful for those of us who want to sell the book. This is what I wrote for my description.This is a guide to the Weminuche Wilderness. It is innately in us to connect to the land and wild places. Wilderness, in contrast to area where people dominates the landscape, is America's last vestige of individual exploration, discovery and challenge. It is the silence of Wilderness juxtaposed to our fast pace, technology-dependent lives that makes the wilderness so special--especially for those who take the time to listen. The author gives us a chance to listen and discover the wildness of the Weminuche in this beautifully written book. It's more than a guidebook. You can get lost in the pages exploring the past history of Southwest Colorado--including the Ute Indians followed by the miners and later the ranchers that occupied the area. This book takes you deep inside the Weminuche and gets you lost in the powerful wonder of raw, unmodified landscapes rich in wildlife and wildness.
