Readers should bundle up before they strike out into the Rocky Mountains with Mark Jenkins, whose idea of quality time with the kids is camping in a snow cave.

Maleesha Speer confides her personal evolution as she awakens to the wonder of her unborn child in bear country.

It's a healthy heritage, giving kids a steady set of bearings, making them strong, and helping them rise to challenges.
