Inspired by his ranger days in Rocky Mountain National Park more
than forty-five years ago as well as more recent rambles, Richard
Fleck has created these descriptive essays that take readers from
shimmering desert heat to snowy summits. Fleck has expanded his
acclaimed book Breaking Through the Clouds (2004) to create a new
book that concentrates on the intermountain American West. This
edition includes counterpoint experiences in the desert, canyon
lands, and dry prairie far below the summits of the lofty peaks,
such as Death Valley, Grand Gulch, Grand Canyon, and the Great Sand
Dunes. His literary model was Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire and
his intent is to involve readers with an equally potent but
different kind of natural reality. Fleck says, "After all, do not
mountains rise out of deserts and dry lands? Mountains and
surrounding deserts should not be separated." The mountains are a
constant source of spiritual renewal for this author, enabling him
to become more aware and whole.
