520 Examines the extraordinary life of legendary backcountry
ranger Randy Morgenson and his mysterious disappearance in
California's unforgiving Sierra Nevada. Over the course of
28 summers in this craggy wilderness, Morgenson became a
celebrated ranger in the National Park Service. For
Morgenson, who as a young man honed his mountaineering
skills in the Himalayas, this was more than a job--it was
a calling. He became fiercely devoted to preventing
outside forces from encroaching on the wilderness he
loved. But over the years, the isolation took its toll,
and he grew increasingly estranged from wife and friends.
When he went missing without a trace in Kings Canyon
National Park, where he had long patrolled, many suspected
suicide or foul play. Blehm's reconstruction of a
desperate search-and-rescue operation woven with
Morgenson's biography takes readers deep into the heart of
the High Sierra and into the world of the backcountry
rangers.--From publisher description
