Nothing captures our imagination quite like a good book.  Whether we're sitting beside a campfire after a long days paddle, or curled up at home on a winter day, everyone likes a good tale of adventure from the trail or water.  We've assembled a collection of fiction and non-fiction, instructional reading and general stories about the places we cherish.  Enjoy!

"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life".

  John Muir

"We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect".

  Aldo Leopold

"I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will".

  Henry David Thoreau
