About the Book
Explore
the serene, surreal and scenic corners of the world... but watch your step.
Off The Map is a collection of fifty-five outdoor adventures that take place along the rougher and more
precarious edges of our country's natural splendor. Within these
stories, the author engages in ill-advised confrontations with the bears
of Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness, the mosquitoes of Yellowstone,
and the voracious marmots of the San Juan Mountains. Driven by an
unhealthy obsession with cliffs and mountaintops, the author also
ventures into such serene and surreal landscapes as the redrock ravines
of Utah, the abandoned gold mines of Colorado, the icefields of Iceland,
the volcanic peaks of the Cascades, the depths of the Grand Canyon, and
the lightning-scarred summits of the Southern Rockies.
If you
enjoy tales of haunted hotels and hot springs, hypothermia and heat
exhaustion, as well as snapshots of the most scenic locations this
continent has to offer, Off The Map will satisfy your inquisitive and adventurous spirit. Add
it to your library today and start your journey!
