Experience the great outdoors through the eyes of a woman who hikes, camps, canoes, fly-fishes, and skis. Rocky Mountain Sunrise will keep you in your seat, only to push you out of it once you've finished the last page. A collection of eighteen short stories centered on one middle-aged, single woman's life in the Rockies, this book will inspire you to start gathering your own experiences of nature's wonder and adventure for yourself. Some stories are told from Sandy's perspective, giving you intimate insight into her thoughts and feelings as she plunges into the woods with her two beloved dogs, Joe and Duke. Some stories are about the lives and escapades of other small-town Wyoming people. But all the stories are infused with the wealth that nature has to offer, and they encourage you to have new eyes for the life you are living. Don't be surprised when you find yourself heading to the Rockies for your own breath of fresh air. A great book to feature on your bookshelf next to the likes of James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small, this enjoyable collection of short stories poignantly mixes lighthearted tales with insights into nature.

Are you planning a visit to Rocky Mountain National Park? Do you want to take stunning photos of this incredible landscape? Then you will want this book written by a professional photographer who has spent the last 15 years exploring and photographing Rocky.

Award-winning photographer Glenn Randall dedicated seven years to climbing each of Colorado’s 54 peaks over 14,000 feet with one goal in mind—to capture the glory of sunrise from each summit. His quest required hundreds of hours of planning and preparation, then scaling the peaks in the dark while carrying a pack loaded with camera gear. Randall’s reward—and yours—is this beautiful collection of unique and dramatic images that will put you on the summit just as the sun gilds the far horizon.

On January 1 of 2016, Stefanie Payne, a creative professional working at NASA Headquarters, and Jonathan Irish, a photographer with National Geographic, left their lives in Washington, D.C. and hit the open road on an expedition to explore and document all 59 of America's national parks during the centennial celebration of the U.S. National Park Service - 59 parks in 52 weeks - the Greatest American Road Trip. Captured in more than 300,000 digital photographs, written stories, and videos shared by the national and international media, their project resulted in an incredible view of America's National Park System seen in its 100th year. 'A Year in the National Parks, The Greatest American Road Trip' is a gorgeous visual journey through our cherished public lands, detailing a rich tapestry of what makes each park special, as seen along an epic journey to visit them all within one special celebratory year.
