Obsidian Point chronicles one man's continuing spiritual quest as he revisits Mt. Hornaday in the Beartooth Range of northern Wyoming over a sixteen year period.

There is keen observation of both the exterior and interior world, and the language and rhythms of the backcountry abound and are finely tuned.

As with other books in this tradition, Obsidian Point is not only a record of a journey but also a map for future travelers.
