The Western Slope towns of Gunnison and Crested Butte are defined
by their placement in the Colorado Rockies. Both are located in
alpine valleys surrounded by 14,000-foot-high peaks with sparkling
mountain-fed streams, and both dominate the Gunnison country, a
unique wilderness covering over 4,000 square miles. Beginning over
400 years ago, Native Americans, fur traders, explorers, miners,
railroaders, and cattlemen all made a place for themselves in the
area. Today Gunnison, Crested Butte, and the Gunnison country
remain isolated and tranquil. Recreation, tourism, and cattle
ranching now reign supreme as Gunnison and Crested Butte attempt to
preserve their distinctly Western heritage.
The fourth title in the extremely popular series of good practice,
these DVDs are written by the experts. Filmed in the Lake District
and the Scottish Highlands, this DVD outlines the essential skills
and techniques for summer hill walking in the UK. In 2007, the
Mountain Rescue teams of England and Wales dealt with 778
incidents, a 23% increase since 2003. As with previous DVDs in the
series, this DVD has been produced to educate mountain users,
making them aware of the often hostile environment of our uplands.
It will also inspire, with the dramatic beauty of two of the UK's
most popular walking areas shown to full effect. The film follows
two walkers, Frederlina and Ben, as they plan their days and follow
their walks. We see the challenges they face and the decisions they
make. In addition to the film, the technical chapters include:
Navigation, Scrambling, Weather, River Crossings, Mountain Rescue,
Ticks and Hazards.
