"Published in cooperation with the Rocky Mountain Nature Association."

Includes index.

From Mount Achonee to Mount Ypsilon with hundreds of peaks, passes, lakes, and streams in between, Colorado historians Louisa Ward Arps and Elinor Eppich Kingery enthusiastically recorded the history of over 600 place names in Rocky Mountain National Park and the adjacent areas around Grand Lake and the Indian Peaks. In their inimitable style, Arps and Kingery included the personal anecdotes and interesting tidbits that make this book not only a valuable reference, but also a delightful read for armchair travelers, summer visitors, and high country residents alike. Originally published by the Colorado Mountain Club in 1965 to celebrate Rocky Mountain National Park's fiftieth anniversary, High Country Names quickly became a perennial favorite. Johnson Books and the Rocky Mountain Nature Association are pleased to make this high country compendium available once again.
