A new book by Debbie Bulger
Chock full of adventures in the backcountry of California, Consumed by Wilderness is part natural history guide, part memoir, and total mountain-climbing passion. Drawn to the Wilderness from an early age through reading, Bulger eventually makes her way from New England to the wild country. Accounts of peak climbs through 40 years of wilderness travel include not only the summit rocks and views, but also tips on survival, tales of plant and animal life, and a serenade to Nature.
The 228 pages are crammed with full-color photos of expansive vistas and all manner of backcountry residents from bluebirds to butterflies to bighorns.
