This book will have to be required reading for all who imagine New Mexico is nothing but plains, mesas, and cacti.

To help readers develop into conversant in his beloved mountains, Butterfield divides the high peaks of northern New Mexico into their geographical regions, each and every with its unique geology, history, and plants and animals. Butterfield’s primary focal point, alternatively, remains on the peaks, which have attracted generations of hikers, backpackers, climbers, hunters, and horsemen.

To assist those visitors, Butterfield covers not only named summits but also the many individual points exceeding 12,000 feet. He includes valuable information about important trails and trailheads, access points, and, for car-bound visitors, places from which the mountains will also be most favorably viewed.
