Praise for High Cols and Deep Canyons

“It has been my pleasure to follow Stephen Legault’s writing career for many years. Early on I recognized him as one of the better young voices advocating for the protection of the Rocky Mountains. Now, three decades later, his book High Cols and Deep Canyons reminds me of why I have enjoyed his writing for such a long time. I hope this book finds its way into many a backpack, canoe, or kayak, as hikers, climbers, paddlers, and families carry it with them into the wilds to enjoy during a night under the stars.”

Ben Gadd, author of the Handbook of the Canadian Rockies, and Raven’s End

“High Cols and Deep Canyons is an intimate examination of a conflicted life lived well, in some of the world’s finest places.  Legault takes us with him on wilderness explorations down desert rivers and high into the Rockies, while reflecting on the hard lessons that come from confronting the conundrums of a society that professes to love nature at the same time as it consumes it.  This book is as much an adventure to be vicariously enjoyed as it is a study on how to live in an imperfect world.  Beautifully written, deeply felt, memorable: it will be an important addition to the shelf that holds the works of Leopold, Thoreau and other conservation writers.”
