“The Full Range is a deep look into emotional awareness and personal growth. Often using free-range poetry and clipped prose, Carolyn Highland shares her psychological journey through various outdoor physical endurance challenges. With this collection of essays, she reflects on how her life has unfolded versus what might have been expected.” —Marlis Butcher, author of Park Bagger: Adventures in the Canadian National Parks

“In The Full Range, writer and adventurer Carolyn Highland explores just that: the full, unpredictable, and beautiful range of ways that wild places can weave into our lives. Through her own wide-ranging stories, she looks at how love of place, people, and our own persistence changes us for the better.” —Heather Hansman, author of Fierce Country, Downriver, and Powder Days
