An avid outdoorsman shares twenty-six mostly true stories of wilderness adventure in the mountains of Colorado and across the American West.

Whether it’s camping, fishing, hiking, desert trail trekking, or “bagging” peaks, T. Duren Jones loves the wilderness—and he sure has the stories to prove it! He’s completed the nearly 500 miles of the Colorado Trail and reached the summit of all fifty-four of Colorado’s 14,000-ft peaks. He’s even dragged friends and family along on his escapades . . . most of whom have survived to corroborate his tales. In Tales from the Trails, he combines elements of adventure journal and travelogue with motivational encouragement and plenty of humor.

This book is for anyone who loves spending time in the outdoors, who wish they could be outdoors more, or who simply enjoy reading about other nuts with an insatiable thirst for reaching the next peak.
