    "Fleck's eloquent accounts of climbing peaks and exploring the intermountain deserts of the American West reflect an intimate firsthand knowledge of and reverence for the region." —Lybrary.com "This book is a shining example of how to write about the outdoors." —Arlene Shovald, The Mountain Mail "Fleck’s knowledge of the history, natural history and literature of the American West enriches his accounts of outings with family, friends and students. With his graceful prose and attentive eye, Fleck captures moments of awe . . . For hikers who share his enthusiasm for the interior West, Desert Rims to Mountains High will replenish a fading storehouse of memories and nurture an appetite for more." —Jane Koerner, COLORADO CENTRAL MAGAZINE
