About the Author

Dusty Lyn Alaen is a professional trail guide in the mountains of Colorado, Montana, and other areas. Dusty guided overnights being guide, cook, wearing many hats to keep things running smoothly. There were times when Dusty changed hats to help medically should anyone need help. In one event keeping a rider alive doing CPR for a heart attack saving his life.

Today Dusty rides the trails for recreation but helps hikers and other people needing help. However, tradition has given solid materials for use in my writings.
