ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

My heartfelt thanks to Steve Allen who encouraged me, helped me, read and made suggestions about manuscript, visited and hiked with me.

Ginger Harmon, bless her, read and corrected page after page of manuscript trying to teach me punctuation, capitalization, indentation, phraseology and more.

Randy Sadler accompanied me on exploration trips and checking hikes. He never complained, always smiled.

Jim Unruh checked many hikes as well as writing the foreword.

So many more people helped with this book over the seven years it took me to do the writing and hiking I fear I may miss someone who added significantly.

Starting with the National Park Service staff, Chuck Lundy and Bob Van Belle were kind enough to allow me to get started on the book. Al Hendricks wrestled me all the way and helped me make it a better book- Tom and Debbie Clark trained and hiked with me, Tom and Judy Cox advised and Dave Worthington tried (successfully) to get out and hike. Gary Lenhart kept me puffing while he checked some hikes. Jill Jackson and her grandson, Shirley (boss) Bell, John Anderson, Nancy Feldman, Thea Nordling, Bret Reese, Aurora Maldovani and Adrienne Gaughan all spent days off struggling with me.

Many people not on the staff helped starting years ago with Gerard and Sumi Gilliland. More recently, John Covey entertainingly panted and philosophized over many a mile. Others include Graydon Briggs and family, Ronni Egan, Liz and Tara Hickman, Susan Tixier, John Clayton, and Fred and Katie Smith. People, other than Ginger, who helped with manuscript review were Randy Sadler, Liz Hickman and Bob Barrett.

To all, a sincere thank you.

The manuscript would not have gotten far beyond my computer were it not for the time, patience and help of Jeff Grathwohl, Director and Senior Editor of The University of Utah Press. and the manuscript reviewers made my ramblings a publishable piece. Many thank yous to them.
