When I got my new wide angle lens the other day, it also came with another book I also got from Amazon. I picked up the new Kelsey book with information on hiking in the Henry Mountains and Robber’s Roost that came out over the summer. There’s also a section on the life and legend of Butch Cassidy included.
While we were at the Colorado National Monument today, I just couldn’t help myself and picked up two more books from the visitor center 🙂
First I got Roadside Guide to Indian Ruins & Rock Art of the Southwest by Gordon and Cathie Sullivan.
Second was It Happened in Colorado by James Crutchfield
If you’ve read my blog here for any amount of time, you might have noticed that Comb Ridge is a favorite place that Amanda and I like to explore. We usually make a trip there in the spring and late fall at the least.
When I came across this book on Amazon, I just had to pick it up. I skimmed through it a little today, and there looks to be a lot of good information in it. I can’t wait to read it 🙂
Comb Ridge and Its People: The Ethnohistory of a Rock by Robert McPherson
While hiking at the Colorado National Monument yesterday I decided to stop off at the visitor center and pickup another book.

This is the only book I picked up on this entire trip, and I got it from the Great Sand Dunes National park visitor center store. It should be an interesting read for me when I find the time 🙂
A few weeks back I found an inscription left by Antione Robidoux in the Book Cliffs:
