Go "Into the Rocky Mountain Wilderness" with the Author

If you enjoyed reading "Into the Wild" or "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", I recommend you read this book. While he did not know it at the time, TJ was an emerging naturalist. His book records his self-discovery through high country recreation. He backpacks for five days criss-crossing the Continental Divide and enjoying Colorado's deep wilderness. He'll take you deep inside a cave high in the mountains of Wyoming, but you won't have to leave the comfort of your reading place. His book documents high country adventure as it existed and as it remains. In this book, he'll take you backpacking, skiing, exploring, running, climbing, caving, and even prospecting for gold. He wrote, "When you distance yourself from the comforts of civilization you put yourself in the hands of nature, and you never know what is going to happen. You have to prepare for and adjust to the ever-changing conditions in the backcountry." RMAC is destined to become a classic book on wilderness, recreation, and the joys of our natural surroundings. If you like to hang onto your books, I suggest that you order one of the few remaining autographed and numbered copies from the original printing of only 3,000 copies.

RMAC will Transport You into High Mountain Adventure!

TJ wrote in a style that really helped me feel like a bystander watching him climb in the Rockies. He had me on the edge of my seat when he had to race down a mountainside to escape the worsening thunderstorm high above timberline. His descriptions of crawling into mountain caves made me feel claustrophobic. I shared the same sensations through his emotional writing style. You can almost feel the excitement of his adventures through his tales of climbing, skiing, and backpacking. I really enjoyed how the author helped me visualize high country places I've only dreamed of visiting. Whether you are an active participant in outdoor adventure or not, you'll enjoy this book. This was the first mountaineering related book I read, and I really enjoyed it.

Felt like I was right there in the caves

The thrills of mountain climbing and caving can be found in this book. TJ Burr's book "Rocky Mountain Adventure Collection" gives one the feeling of being there with him.

Excellent Book for all Interested in High Adventure!

TJ Burr covers a wide variety of high country adventure activities with his real life stories of backpacking, skiing, exploring, running, climbing, caving and prospecting. He'll take you to the top of Longs Peak, and into the bowels of a mountain cave. I really enjoyed the way he described his wild caving experiences - I felt like I was in there with him. His book is for anyone interested in high country adventure in the Rockies, not just hard core participants.

Excellent book for the armchair Rocky Mountain enthusiast!

A book that covers all the adventure topics of activities you'll find in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Wyoming.
