They Wrote It Here
Rocky Mountain
National Park
How have various writers described particular sites
in the Park? From flowery Victorian prose to popular fiction to memoir filtered by the author’s eyes, each writer has
captured the Park in a unique way. We will visit various locations & view-sites described by Isabella Bird, James Michener,
Milton Estes, Albert Sprague, Enos Mills, William Allen White and others in journals, books and letters. We’ll
read their descriptions, discuss them, then write a piece or journal entry of our own describing this place today or reacting
to the historical passage. How has this site changed? In what ways is it the same? How do I feel about it? Be ready for a fun day exploring the actual places in the
Park that have influenced literature! $70

Paint Your Prose: Create A Sense Of Place Using Nature Writing
Techniques
Rocky Mountain National Park
Vividly creating a “sense of place” draws readers into
a story and engages them powerfully. The techniques used in nature writing to capture "place" can be used in creative
writing of all sorts—to create setting and place for fiction, narrative nonfiction, memoir, essay and even expository
articles. Learn how to look closely at the world around you, use all your senses, find universal themes in what you see, use
metaphor and other techniques. $70
