From an out-of-control wildfire that nearly destroyed a town to a serial
spouse killer in Estes Park, It Happened in Rocky Mountain National Park
looks at intriguing people and episodes from the history of Colorado's
largest national park. Learn how two teens' attempt to scale the
Diamond--a sheer granite cliff so dangerous that climbing it used to be
outlawed--resulted in one of the most complicated rescues in the park's
history. Read about the life and untimely demise of Rocky Mountain Jim,
who was badly scarred by a grizzly bear attack and earned a reputation
as an eccentric but highly skilled wilderness guide. And meet Harriet
Peters, an unusually tenacious girl who summited 14,259-foot-tall Longs
Peak at the tender age of eight.
