This book reflects the author's deep connection to the Rocky Mountains, as it portrays the beauty and solitude of nature through verses inspired by his life as a timber cruiser, packer, trapper, and guide. The poems celebrate the wonders of the wilderness, capturing the essence of outdoor life and the timeless relationships between man and nature. In this collection, Whilt shares a variety of poems that evoke vivid images and emotions related to life in the Rocky Mountains. From the adventures of hunting and trapping to contemplations of memory and nature, each poem encapsulates a different facet of mountain life.
