About Travel & Places

The Rocky Mountains stretch more than three thousand miles from northern British Columbia down into New Mexico, a spine of granite and glacier that shapes the weather, the rivers, and the wildlife of an entire continent. Above the treeline, summer arrives in weeks and the meadows explode with wildflowers before the first September snow. Elk bugle through the spruce forests in autumn, their calls rolling across basins that haven't changed much since the first mountain men crossed the passes on horseback.
