Walking Down the Wild is the story of a five hundred-mile trek through the magnificent Yellowstone Rockies - a spirited adventure in the tradition of William Least Heat Moon's Blue Highways, and Barry Lopez' Arctic Dreams. Along the way you'll learn of harrowing journeys by early explorers, of the myths and legends of Native peoples, of the glorious weave of flora and fauna that blankets the land even today. This book is above all one man's unique perspective on the Yellowstone Rockies. A perspective shaped from a slow, deliberate walk through the secret nooks and crannies of the land, from listening to the stories of the people who live there, from basking in the sights and sounds, the fears and joys, of untrammeled nature.
