About Colorado's San Juan Mountains
Product Description 31% Off (was $12.95) The San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado are among the most spectacular mountains in the world. They contain seven wilderness areas, nine distinct ecosystems, and more land above 10,000 feet than any other mountain range in North America. In Colorado's San Juan Mountains, renowned photographer Grant Collier has captured the sublime beauty of these mountains. Grant has explored every stretch of the San Juans, photographing jagged peaks rising to dizzying heights, undulating meadows covered with wildflowers, and immense waterfalls plunging over rocky cliff faces. This book also leads you back in time with a selection of photographs from the 1880s taken by Grant's great-great-grandfather, the pioneer photographer Joseph Collier. The combination of historic and modern photographs provides a compelling new perspective on Colorado's most expansive mountain range. Review As always, Collier has a good eye for detail, giving us intimate portraits of wildflowers and lily pads. He can also frame big scenes like Mount Sneffels soaring behind a hay field, and captures much in the middle, like slot-canyon waterfalls and alpine lakes. An additional delight of this collection is a section of San Juan photographs taken by Grant Collier's great-great-grandfather, Joseph Collier, who lugged heavy glass plates into the high country in the 1880s. All in all, this is a fine assortment of old and new that helps us see our mountains in different ways, large and small, old and new. --Ed Quillen, Colorado Central Magazine Most of Collier's beautiful photographs are of the wilderness The book would be an apt and easy-to-mail gift to send to people whom you want to tempt to visit. --Patricia Miller, Durango Herald About the Author Grant Collier is one of Colorado's premier nature photographers.
