If you're interested in knowing more about the nature around you as you hike, try my book, Cascade-Olympic Natural History. Or if you're in the northern U.S. or Canadian Rockies, I have a newer natural history on that area. For info, check out

Daniel, I have enjoyed reading and learning from both the original and the second editions of your very interesting book. I even bought copies for my two almost forty-year-old sons for Christmas presents.
Now I will buy a copy of "Rocky Mountain Natural History" since I at least drive through Idaho and Wyoming when returning to visit my previous home in Boulder, Colorado. Thanks for all the hard work. Dale
I love that book. It's one of the best written books I've ever seen in that genre. The photos are excellent. I bought the 1st edition around the time I moved up here in 1991. The book really advanced my knowledge of our mountain natural history. I haven't picked up the 2nd edition yet. It's a real treat to have you on this board Dan.
Yes one never knows if some of the posters on this site are whom they claim to be (re: Beckey and others who have supposedly graced us with their presence), but you sir seem legit so may I also say how much I've enjoyed my copy of Cascade-Olympic Natural History (alas 1994 edition) truly a classic and a wonderful read. I first became aware of it during a backpack along the Bogachiel, one of our party read excerpts to us at night around the stove. Thanks so much.
Years ago I trudged up Desolation Peak too. What an experience you must have had with your time up there. My few hours just gave me a taste I'm afraid.
Glad you posted, cheers!
Thanks for the nice comments, all of you. This forum is great! So far, I especially like the links to "North Cascades porn" and to Maury Pelto's glaicer research site. I'll have to figure out how to put a photo under my name.
