Backpacking with God : In Our National Parks

     After 34 years of backpacking and hiking.  After logging literally thousands of miles on backcountry trails throughout the major national parks of the western US, Canada and Alaska.  After all I have seen and experienced I am constantly asked where is your favorite spot, which is the best of the best?  A tough question.   How do you compare a canyon with a mountain, a waterfall with a glacier, the continental divide with a valley?  When pressed to choose, the view of Grand Teton as seen from the north fork of Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton National Park is hard to beat.  That is why I chose my photo of that scene for the cover of this book.
