Scope & Content |
Peggy Donahue describes the development of Colorado Mountain School, based upon the philosophical outlook of her husband Mike Donahue, which viewed the climbing experience as an opportunity to enhance individual personal understanding, growth and development and not just scaling mountains. Peggy describes the challenges and joys of living and raising a family in a very small cabin in the Wild Basin area, adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park. The Donahue family and Colorado Mountain School are important links in the local chain of climbing enthusiasts, guides and naturalists which started perhaps even earlier than Enos Mills and continues to the present day. |
