Great book! She tells all sorts of ranger stories—hers and other peoples. Some are gory and some are very, very painful; others are inspiring and even sometimes amusing. She must have been an excellent observer for all her years in the parks. Or else, just really good and prying life stories out of people!
I wish it had gone on forever. But just be aware, I did mention painful…? Yeah, but worth it.
She spends little time on the annoying bureaucracy that the rangers must have had to endure, and sticks with their rescues, adventures, life histories and other fun stuff. So I can’t say that I learned anything about The National Park Service (did I want to?) but I did get to read a lot about the awesome and dedicated individuals that staffed it.
Many stars.
