The history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abounds with accounts of the miseries, privations, and triumphs, of pioneer treks across the American plains. Fewer, however, are the narratives and accounts of the contemporary treks to and across America to the Rocky Mountain home of the Saints; those who would also dwell in the mountain tops. Responding to the call of His servants in modern times, to repent and believe the gospel; they too, would go up "to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, to be taught in His ways, and to walk in His paths." With the advent of modern transportation-automobiles, trucks, trains, and airplanes-they would truly "come with speed, swiftly". This work culminates in the true, modern story, of one family's journey to "the tops of the mountains". Although the crossing was not the result of religious persecution, it too was filled with sadness, hardship, heartache, and ultimate victory in the realization of their hopes and dreams: to live among the servants of the Lord in the heart of the Rockies, the crossroad of the west.
