From Grassland to Glacier: The Natural History of Colorado and the Surrounding Region

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In concise, readable prose, "From Grassland to Glacier" guides the nature lover through the natural world of the Southern Rocky Mountains-from the hot, dry plains and plateaus, through the moist forests of pine and spruce, to the windswept tundra above the trees. Self-guided tours and easy-to-use keys simplify the identification of natural communities through personal experience. The standard work in the field for years, "From Grassland to Glacier" has been completely revised to take advantage of scientific advances. It includes an entirely new section on the wetlands ecosystem and has been expanded to include portions of the Southern Rockies in the surrounding states of Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
