Here are on this Walden Wednesday, we slow down and spend a few precious moments of our day to truly listen, to the thoughts, ideas, and writings of some of the greatest thinkers, naturalists and lovers of Nature the world has ever known. Writers like Emerson, Whitman, Muir and Thoreau.
In today’s time together we continue our visit with adventure naturalist, wildlife photographer, and Nature writer Enos Mills, as he recounts his thrilling and exhilarating adventures as the Colorado snow observer in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, encountering avalanches, dangerous precipices, starvation and hypothermia by falling though ice into a freezing river, and even mountain lions and bears. Always a stoic, he calmly treats these occurrences as just another day in the life of a Colorado Snow Observer.
So sit back and relax as we enjoy part 2 of the chapter “Colorado Snow Observer” the first chapter from Wildlife on the Rockies, by Enos Mills, friend of John Muir and Father of Rocky Mountain National Park.
