Cameron Ross lives a double life. Most people recognize him as the world's hottest leading man--the new Cary Grant. Those people would never recognize him as the man who wakes at the Flying V Ranch in Montana the morning after an epic drunk. That man is a scruffy horseman who seems to fit seamlessly in the mountain valley his ranch inhabits. That man’s name is Noah Campbell. Cameron is a myth. Noah is the real man who bought a ranch in order to remind himself of that fact. What's also real is his ranch manager, Dulcy McCann, who has risked everything to protect her position and her precocious sprite of a daughter, Hannah. Noah knows he should not develop an attachment to either of them. Dulcy thinks he's Noah, a businessman. Her world is Montana, not the fishbowl of notoriety he inhabits. As for Dulcy, she has enough on her hands balancing the rigors of the ranch and the much tougher job of raising her daughter. The last thing she needs in her life is a new boss so compelling he's interfering with both. Especially when they're threatened by secrets Dulcy can't share.

Monuments to all that is bizarre are contained in this guide, with location, websites, open hours, cost, and directions included. Pohlen is ecumenical in his tastes, including really kitschy tourist traps as well as bizarre oddities such as the barber shop of a would-be messiah.

Taking on one of Colorado’s 53 fourteeners—from stately Longs Peak and the iconic Maroon Bells to the easy to access Mt. Bierstadt—is becoming a pilgrimage for Colorado’s residents and its visitors. While more people than ever are climbing them, there’s still a dearth of good information about each mountain and its surrounding areas. Hiking Colorado’s Fourteeners fills that gap by informing adventurers—from the freshly-booted novice to the grizzled mountaineer—about each of Colorado’s iconic mountains over 14,000 feet tall.

Whether you’re looking to hike in solitude or simply looking to get off the beaten path, these trails will lead hikers on the best trails in state parks and public spaces, with hikes ranging in difficulty from handicap-accessible and easy hikes to strenuous outings.
