High and Wild

Rating:
Summary: Inspirational accounts of real life adventures.
Review: Written and photographed by the greatest adventure photographer of all time, High and Wild is a must read for anyone who enjoys outdoor adventures. Galen Rowell takes us on many of his greatest outdoor journeys from California to Tibet to Alaska in this large format book. The photos are incredible and the accounts by Rowell make you wish you were there. Sadly, Galen Rowell was killed in a plane crash in August 2002 so the world will be deprived of more of his talented works. This review is for the original version, published in 1979. I look forward to the new version, published in Oct. 2002.
