The Colorado high country is the great pinnacle of the Rocky Mountain Range, the geographic spine of North America that stretches from Alaska to Mexico. Colorado encompasses three-fourths of
the land area of the United States with an elevation over 10,000 feet, and includes fifty-three peaks over 14,000 feet. In High Country, author and photographer Susan Neider has
assembled a visually beautiful and richly informative guide to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Highlights include the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, a wild river embedded in a chasm that
reaches 2,600 feet in depth; the surreal landscapes of Great Sand Dunes National Park; the soaring peaks of the Continental Divide; and much more. Family vacationers, RVers, backpackers, and
anyone who loves wild places will find in this book an indispensable trip planner and an extraordinary vision of the Centennial State.
