In an engrossing read, Hal Clifford takes you behind the scenes of Aspen's mountain rescue squad. This isn't simply a journalist's view, Clifford had to join the team to get his story.
In The Falling Season you'll be introduced to people from all walks of life who bond into extraordinary teams and who, on a moment's notice, will put themselves directly in harm's way to save you in the mountains. The season Clifford covers was a time of great change in the Aspen team, and he writes about the cohesiveness and the conflict with balanced insight. In a series of incisively written stories, he discusses some particularly difficult rescues; the death of one of their own; the Sheriff's attempts to control their operations; and a dramatic rescue operation that made national news for three days. Clifford gets you inside a mountain rescue team you won't soon forget.
