“Ann Zwinger ... takes us to the Montane Zone of Colorado to walk her land with her, to savor the immense variety of life to be found there, above and below ground, in its streams, meadows, under the surface of a lake and among its groves of aspen and Ponderosa pine.” —May Sarton, The New York Times Book Review

Ann Zwinger received the Orion Society’s John Hay Award for distinguished lifetime achievement as a nature writer, and the Mountains and Plains Booksellers Association presented her with its Spirit of the West award for lifetime achievement writing about the West.
