Excellent combination of a nature adventure, biography, and detective novel. Blehm captures the wild beauty of the Sierra's and one man's love of it. He brings to life the complex life and mysterious end of a legendary back country ranger. A compelling read from start to finish.
Very good. A sad story of a Muir type back country ranger of the High Sierra. A man that did not find a place to fit into in modern times. A story of shame on he National Park Service of not taking care and paying these rangers their worth.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It told a lot about how search and rescue teams work to find missing people in the wilderness. It also also gave insight as to what it was like being a back country seasonal ranger for the National Park Service in the High Sierra Nevada Mountains. It was suspenseful and told a touching story of a man who loved the outdoors.
