This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado's high country is rich with amazing scenery and big, beautiful fish. Unfortunately, many of these highland fisheries are impractical to access. But thanks to veteran fishing guide and writer Phil Tereyla, over 60 mountain lakes in Colorado that are under three miles to access in all corners of the state are now fully outlined and covered in this wonderful new flyfishing guidebook, the Flyfisher's Guide to Colorado's Easy Access Mountain Lakes (Wilderness Adventures Press, 2021). Difficulty to access does not equate to quality fishing; many of Colorado's easy-access alpine gems host fantastic fishing for large trout, including lots of drive-to lakes and reservoirs. Most of these lakes also have the same signature scenery and solitude that has made Colorado so popular for fishing and otherwise. Tereyla shows us where to catch all three subspecies of native cutthroat trout (greenback, Colorado River, and Rio Grande), arctic grayling, big brown trout, lake trout, rainbow trout, cuttbows, splake, tiger trout, tiger muskie, and more. He also covers tributary streams, inlets and outlets, the right times to pursue these awesome fish, and the flies that work. This book is perfect for families, aging and disabled anglers, and those who would rather spend their day casting to large trout than hiking. It also makes a great gift for the angler who has it all. Don't miss this opportunity to indulge in all that Colorado's alpine lakes have to offer! Pick up your copy today!

This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK I have just dropped into the very place I have been seeking, but in everything it exceeds all my dreams. Imagine a time when the wild west was still wild, when no one knew what lay inside the dense forests blanketing Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. When grizzly bears still reigned supreme over California’s forests and the night was filled with the sounds of night creatures. Imagine a time when “ruffians” and “desperados” roamed the land, inspiring both fear and awe in all those who saw them. Imagine a time when Denver was a rough and ready town just recently brought under civil law, and the ink on the document proclaiming Colorado’s statehood was still wet. The mountains were not yet riddled with mine shafts, but hopes and dreams were just beginning to be smashed by the empty promises of wealth below the Earth’s surface. The year is 1873 and America is a wild place still recovering from a devastating civil war and learning how to be a country. Colorado is a wilderness just beginning to be populated by miners, settlers looking for a new life, and invalids grasping at the hope that the clean air will bring a cure. It is a beautiful place full of promise, but it is also a hard place that is more likely to break your heart. It is to this Colorado that Isabella Bird, a 43-year-old English lady, finds herself drawn. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK In 1873, Isabella Bird is 42 years old and she has mountain fever. She yearns to immerse herself in the beauty and culture of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. She doesn’t care if she has to rough it a little; she wants to ride a horse through dense forests and climb atop rocky crags, to look down on the world from above. Isabella’s journey begins in San Francisco and quickly moves to the Sierra Nevadas where she is transfixed by the sparkling emerald beauty of Lake Tahoe and the tragic mountain gem of Donner Lake. Dipping down on the easterly slope of the Sierras, she begins a long and tedious crossing of the Plains. Here she finds herself enclosed in an endless sea of grass that possesses all the loneliness of the ocean and none of the beauty. Isabella is stifled by the heat and black flies that coat every surface. The towns in which she stops are dreary outposts of no merit. So, she runs for the hills. For weeks, Isabella finds herself stuck in Canyon, Colorado staying with the Chalmers family. There is nothing beautiful about this place where everyone lives and breathes work. She lends a hand where she can and bides her time until she can figure out a way to reach Estes Park, the mountain land of her dreams. Just when Isabella is about to give up hope of ever reaching Estes Park, she finds two young men who will take her there. The ride is beautiful and before she knows it, they are at Rocky Mountain Jim’s cabin at the mouth of Estes Park. She is immediately struck by both the handsomeness, brutality, and charm of the ruffian. He continues to be in her thoughts until she comes upon Evans’s camp set up in a lovely meadow next to a picturesque lake. She decides to stay in this idyllic setting until winter comes on.

Download or read book Home Lands written by Virginia Scharff and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2010-05-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The storybook history of the American West is a male-dominated narrative of drifters, dreamers, hucksters, and heroes—a tale that relegates women, assuming they appear at all, to the distant background. Home Lands: How Women Made the West upends this view to remember the West as a place of homes and habitations brought into being by the women who lived there. Virginia Scharff and Carolyn Brucken consider history’s long span as they explore the ways in which women encountered and transformed three different archetypal Western landscapes: the Rio Arriba of northern New Mexico, the Front Range of Colorado, and the Puget Sound waterscape. This beautiful book, companion volume to the Autry National Center’s pathbreaking exhibit, is a brilliant aggregate of women’s history, the history of the American West, and studies in material culture. While linking each of these places’ peoples to one another over hundreds, even thousands, of years, Home Lands vividly reimagines the West as a setting in which home has been created out of differing notions of dwelling and family and differing concepts of property, community, and history.

Download or read book A Journey of Revelation and Self Discovery written by Roger T Berg and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What started as a practice of reading Daily Guides for Spiritual Living, reflecting and recording their promptings and illuminations, turned into a journey of consciousness and a pilgrimage of author Roger Berg to understanding his deeper self. This is a story of one person’s life, told not from its beginning nor to some conclusion, but at a point in time when this person’s consciousness opened and became receptive to a desire to know the recurring themes and underlying values that have given meaning, purpose, and direction to his life. He analyzed and categorized his writings and discovered values and themes that have been a part of him all his life, now revealed. It was a renaissance period of self-discovery, one to be captured, learned from, and in some way used for the greater good of others. This is his story, set forth in chapters expressing his strongest values and life themes as he continues to evolve to a deeper understanding of his purpose and place in the world. He sees his story as perhaps an invitation to others to discover their own paths, to experience their own pilgrimages to a greater understanding of their place in the world, their value to others, their purpose and meaning of who they are and what they are called to do with all their revelations and self-discovery.
