Made a purchase from Amazon last week and in order to get free shipping, I had to add another item to my order. That’s always a great time to add a book from my wishlist 🙂 This time I picked up Ancient Ruins of the Southwest by David Grant Noble.

While we were at Black Canyon National Park yesterday, I picked up this book by Mark Pearson that I have wanted for a while. It describes a number of hikes and a few floats through some of Western Colorado’s wild areas on BLM lands.
