It’s been a while since I have added a new book to my library. So after having a funnel cake in Silverton this afternoon, I stopped in one of the shops and picked up Silver & Sawdust: Life in the San Juans by Ken Reyher.
Now I have something new to read again 😉

Two more books I picked up recently…one for some local hikes and another for some information on a few canyons in the Book Cliffs.
Grand Junction Hiking Guide by Steve Kolarick

I spend a lot of time researching why land features have the name that they do. Some are easy to figure out because of their shape, but there are a lot of place names I come across that are not as easy. While doing some research a few weeks ago, I ran across these two books which contained a lot of the information I have spent much time seeking in the past. These two books should help me out greatly 🙂
Utah Place Names by John W. Van Cott
1001 Colorado Place Names by Maxine Benson
