Rocky Mountain Excursions

The genesis of Rocky Mountain Excursions occurred, in retrospect, on one perfect late September afternoon, in 1976, as I drove westward across US Highways 2 and 89, utterly transfixed by the mountains of Glacier National Park, which seemed to slowly rise from the earth like the hump of a great grizzly bear. The immediate effect of that experience was both visceral and profoundly uplifting. As my familiarity with the Rockies grew, it became quite apparent that I was predisposed to what can only be described as a spiritual form of “Rocky Mountain fever,” an affliction for which there is no known cure but which responds well to prolonged and repeated exposure to the Rocky Mountains. “If you seek emotional, psychological or spiritual renewal, come with us and behold the majesty of America.”
