Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A companion to The Western San Juan Mountains (originally published in 1996), The Eastern San Juan Mountains details the physical environment, biological communities, human history, and points of interest in this rich and diverse mountain system. A natural division between the eastern and western slopes of the San Juans is the north-south line that runs approximately through Lake City, south of the crossing of the Piedra River by US Highway 160. In this super guidebook, twenty-seven contributors--all experts in their fields--artfully bring the geology, hydrology, animal and plant life, human histories, and travel routes of these eastern slopes to life. Designed to inform researchers, educators, and students about the region's complex systems, The Eastern San Juan Mountains also serves as an informative guidebook to accompany visitors along their travels on the Silver Thread National Scenic Byway, which stretches between South Fork and Lake City. The Eastern San Juan Mountains deserves a place next to The Western San Juan Mountains on the bookshelf of every naturalist, researcher, resident, educator, student, and tourist seeking a greater understanding of this marvelous place and its history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrating on unique events, people whose stories have never fully been told, and a few "new" facts, The San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado - Calderas, Mastodons, Conquistadors, and Gold provides a wealth of information, starting with the true boundaries of Colorado's San Juans. Through extensive research, P. David Smith destroys many long standing theories about this mysterious range, showing that Paleo hunters lived in the San Juans year round and the Spanish prospected almost continuously in the area but had little luck smelting the gold and silver ores. Smith shows how the Utes went from one of the poorest Native American tribes to one of the richest and points out that the Pueblo Indians (Anasazi) were the first of the historic tribes in Colorado and the San Juans. He also notes that Coronado or his men may well have been in the San Juans, rightfully looking for "Cibolla" amidst what has proven to be extremely mineral-rich terrain. Detailing the beginnings of the historically rich San Juans of Colorado, this work is one that both historians and history-lovers have awaited. It is true history that may be stranger than fiction. But it may also be true history that will enlighten those who visit and live in this unique part of the world.

In "Colorado's San Juan Mountains," renowned photographer Grant Collier has captured the sublime beauty of these mountains. Grant has explored every stretch of the San Juans, photographing jagged peaks rising to dizzying heights, undulating meadows covered with wildflowers, and immense waterfalls plunging over rocky cliff faces.

The combination of historic and modern photographs provides a compelling new perspective on Colorado's most expansive mountain range.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across the San Juan Mountains On a superb morning in September, that month of many colors, four of us1 started on a ride among the min ing districts of the San Juan, in southwestern Colorado. The starting point was Ouray, the picturesque little town named after the old chief, an Indian of renown, the friend of the white men who first explored the mountain fast nesses of the Uncompahgre. From Ouray we rode across the ranges to T'elluride, Silverton, Lake City, Gunnison, and thence to Crested Butte and back, following a course which, on the map, looks like a figure 8, with Ouray at the base of the lower loop and Crested Butte at the top. See map. The distance was slightly over 400 miles; the country traversed is beautiful to the traveler and interest ing to the mining engineer, so that the experience was sufficiently rich in incidents and information to warrant the account which it is my purpose to present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will give you an insider's look into a way of life in our country that has vanished forever-the cowboy life the author lived in Southwestern Colorado starting in the early 1900's. Lyle shares his stories of a simpler and hardier life with humor and pathos. Love of life and wry observation of human nature are the dominant themes of this book. Lyle's story begins at a time in our country's history when 'horse power' had a literal meaning in day to day life, when traveling 25 to 30 miles in a day was a considerable achievement, when the capricious weather of the Southwestern Colorado mountains could inflict tragedy and trauma on any innocent soul just trying to make a living. Whether snowed in high in the mountains with nothing in his grub box but a can of stewed tomatoes, or chasing after a wily steer at breakneck speed on horseback through a rocky and thorny desert landscape, Lyle reflects on the realities of a cowboy's life of his generation. His stories include his signing up for the Navy the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, seeing action in the South Pacific, traveling the world, and ending up again in his beloved San Juan mountains after the war. His story continues into later years, in which he still rode horseback and trained horses well into his eighties. Share the life journey of a remarkable man. Saddle your own horse, come along for the ride, and "cowboy up!."
