In the seventh book in the Adventures with the Parkers series, the family heads to Colorado to visit the high peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park. When the snow clears, the park’s many famous sites are on display: Trail Ridge Road, spectacular wildflowers, elk, waterfalls, and unique alpine tundra. The family’s big adventure? A hike up Longs Peak, a Colorado “fourteener.” But afternoon storms pelt the family during their training hikes, and they begin to question the wisdom of a nighttime summit ascent.
Mike Graf, a national park fanatic, is an instructor at Chico State University and a local weatherman.
