Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is a quite uncommon issue of Mountain Magazine, which was published from 1927 to 1931 and edited by Raymond Torrey. It was a product of the Associated Outdoor Clubs of America and for several years in partnership with the Adirondack Mountain Club. This particular issue has some outstanding articles: "Trails in the Rockies" by Richard Toll, Superintendent of the Rocky Mountain National Park; "the Appalachian Trail Grows", by H.C. Anderson of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. It is illustrated by a map showing progress of the trail from the Blue Ridge to Pennsylvania; "Will Captain Odell Climb Everest" which includes a summary of The Epic of Mount Everest, by Younghusband; various cclub reports; and "High Spots" which was the official publication of the Adirondack Mountain Club and for about two years was published in this magazine rather than as a separate publication. This issue of High Spots contains opening comments by the new President Pirie MacDonald who was instrumental in changing the focus of the club from purely recreation to conservation. There is also an address by the outgoing president John Myers. Rules and prices for ADK's Johns Brook Lodge ($1.00 a night for members) with details on the progress of new trails in the high peaks. Remarkably uncommon and without faults except for some give at the staples, tears along the spine, and a chip or two. Advertisements as well. Volume VI, No. 4, pages 81-104. Magazine is 9 and 7/8 inches by 7 and 3/8 inches.
