Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Information on solo and group travel
As someone who loves to travel but often finds the planning and logistics overwhelming, I was eager to listen to "Your Guide to Stress-Free Travel for Seniors." This audiobook is a guide tailored specifically for seniors who dream of exploring the world but feel overwhelmed by the complexities of modern travel.
The sections on solo and group travel are particularly insightful. The author offers balanced advice on the benefits and challenges of both, along with strategies to connect with fellow travelers. This part of the audiobook reassures those who may be hesitant about traveling alone and provides useful tips for making the most of group travel experiences.
