About This Site
The Spirit of the Rockies (www.thespiritoftherockies.net) was created to celebrate the spirit of the Rocky Mountains through hiking and photography experiences.

This site is intended primarily to share detailed profiles for hikes, as well as photographs and video clips from these hikes. The information is posted so that visitors to the site can find a suitable place to visit or relive a past visit to the Rockies. Hopefully, visitors to this site can feel some of the spirit of the great places in the Rockies, even when it is impossible to be there in person.
All photographs on the website were taken by and copyrighted to Mike Amfahr. All images were either captured with digital equipment or developed to print film, then scanned into electronic format. Images were only altered to remove defects introduced in the scanning process and are intended to match original print images as closely as possible. Images are presented as they appeared in nature when the original image was captured. Although images are copyrighted, any image may be used for private, personal use on a single computer, and rights to commerical use of copyrighted images are available by contacting Mike through the E-mail link.
The information in the hike profiles is based on personal hiking experiences, as well as published information in several works. The most valuable resources in putting this information together are cited in the Links section of this site.

Any visitor to the site that would like more information or detail on a particular hike or photograph is welcome to e-mail Mike through the E-mail link.
