Rocky Mountain: The Story Behind the Scenery

Rocky Mountain National Park is a place of life, contrasts, extremes and beginnings. From the grassy meadows to the 14,000 feet peaks - from the trout streams to the majestic bull elk - here is adventure and the balance of life. Even the mighty Colorado River starts its journey from the Park's western slopes.

Each book in this series tells a compelling story through the eyes of an experienced interpreter whose writing reflects true enthusiasm for the park. Complete with running text and interpretive captions, accompanied by abundant full-color photographs, these books will be welcome in any home library.

Rocky Mountain National Park, located in north central Colorado, established in 1915, preserves the massive grandeur, rich scenery, wildlife, and wildflowers of the Rocky's Front Range.
