Summary "The Rocky Mountain Wonderland" by Enos A. Mills is a nature writing work published in the early 20th century. The book explores the stunning beauty and diverse ecosystems of the Rocky Mountains, particularly emphasizing Mills's personal experiences and observations. It aims to convey the richness of both flora and fauna found in Colorado's wilderness, serving as a love letter to the natural world. At the start of the book, the author introduces the grandeur of Colorado's high peaks and the variety of life that inhabits these rugged terrains. He shares his extensive experiences climbing Long's Peak, detailing the dynamics of guiding climbers and the lessons learned about human nature during stressful ascents. Mills reflects on the importance of patience in climbing and how the excitement of reaching a summit can easily be overshadowed by the harsh realities of altitude sickness, reinforcing a deeper connection between the landscape and those who traverse it.
