Anyone interested in learning more about their natural environment and wildlife might have to lug a library of books into the backcountry to identify what they find. Coloradoans have recently been provided with an unprecedented new resource that eliminates this heavy load.  Called Snowmass Village: Wild at Heart in a tribute to the town that funded the book, this impressive nearly 500-page field guide identifies the plants, animals, and birds found in a much larger landscape that includes over four wilderness areas of Colorado and most of the Southern Rockies. With 670 color photos covering 423 plants, 112 birds and 49 mammals and additional information on edible and medicinal uses of plants, conservation status of birds and animals, ecology of various life zones above 7,000 feet, color keys, animal tracks drawings and much more, this guide is indispensable. No other mountain resort can boast such a thorough, detailed, and useful book that will appeal to both novice and advanced hikers.
