Synopsis

Frank Rose has hiked thousands of miles in Arizona, most of them in the Santa Catalina Mountains over a period of thirty-six years. Here the author of "Mountain Wildflowers" and "Mountain Trees" uses 180 original watercolors to take readers on a guided tour up and down his beloved mountain. Along the way he gives readers insights into the local landscape, the history, the natural beauty, and magical places he has found over the years. The book includes landscape paintings along with portraits of flowers that might be seen in that part of the range - including their common name and scientific name.

About this title

Review:

"Artist and author Frank Rose has not only trekked the magnificent Catalina Mountains from cactus canyons to fir-forested Mount Lemmon, he has captured the splendor of the range in this book brimming with his evocative words and brilliant watercolors. You'll find no better introduction to the Catalinas -- and no more contemplative study of their wonders."

-- Doug Kreutz, newspaper and magazine writer specializing in the outdoors

"Frank Rose is on a spiritual journey. His path has taken him to the mountaintop, but not before many beautiful stops along the way. If you want to really know the Santa Catalina Mountains, let Frank lead you onto paths that reward you with new vistas and flowers around every turn, all captured in his vivid artwork. The adventure awaits. All you have to do is turn the pages."
