Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mountaineering in Colorado: The Peaks About Estes Park But in climbing some of the peaks in the au tumu of 1886 I saw much that was novel, and during succeeding seasons other remarkable sights forced themselves, as it were, right before my camera. Mr. Ferguson, a pioneer of '59, at whose ranch I stayed while in Estes Park, told me, on the day of my leaving, I reckon no man ever came into this Park before, and saw as much as you have seen. Some of the success which was attained in certain carefully planned expeditions was due to luck; more must be placed to the credit of the clear skies and continual sunshine of Colorado. Though I have made many ascents in other parts of the Rocky Mountains, the peaks most thoroughly explored are those that surround Estes Park; for this reason it has been decided to limit the present descriptions to these northern peaks. The earlier ascents have proved very useful, how ever, in enabling me to identify different points seen in extended mountain views.
