Abstract "In Uphill Both Ways: Hiking toward Happiness on the Colorado Trail, Andrea Lani walks the reader through the landscape of the Southern Rockies, contrasting how it appears today with how it has changed since the discovery of gold in 1859. At the same time, she delves into the history of her family, who immigrated to Leadville to work in the mines and her own story of hiking the trail in her early twenties before returning two decades later, a depressed middle-aged mom exiled on the East Coast, with three kids and a husband in tow, seeking happiness in the landscape of her childhood"-- Provided by publisher.
