Many of us spend a great deal of our time dreaming about our next trip to the mountains, whether for a weekend getaway or our yearly vacation. We hear within that deep inexplicable pull toward the wilderness and would agree with John Muir, who said: "The mountains are calling and I must go." We sense that in the wild we are touching the edge of something that is both wonderful and mysterious.
In this new hardcover book, author and photographer Erik Stensland reflects on his own experience of wilderness and how it seems to call all of us towards healing and wholeness. Through short articles paired with stunning imagery he uses nature to help us connect with our inner self. You can see other photography of Erik's at Images of Rocky Mountain National Park right here in Estes Park.

Laurie Travis will be sharing her new book “The Road To The Hike Of Lake Haiyaha” at Macdonald Book Shop. This is the amazing, true, and personal story of an ordinary Midwestern woman who goes through life experiences, good and bad. In her darkest days and in the grip of despair, she has an extraordinary experience that is unexplainable in many ways. If you think that in the end, love is the only thing left, it’s because it is. If you think that the universe behaves in mysterious ways, it’s because it does. A story like this will help you understand and answer many questions, but like any good tale, it will lead to more. Join Laurie in her journey that changes her life forever as she learns things about her loved ones she never would have guessed and as her faith and inner peace grow in unexpected ways. As she discovers her courage, her limits, her strengths, and herself again, she will never be the same, and neither will you.
Laurie is a lifelong artist from the Midwest with experience in a wide variety of mediums.This amazing true story will inspire you and will renew your belief in love and family forever.
