What binds a man's soul to a mountain?  Through a personal journey spanning seven decades, Darryl Lloyd cemented his place in the sweeping story of Washington state's Mount Adams.  Lloyd is the foremost authority on this northern Cascade massif, a sometimes overlooked, but never forgotten, hulk of a mountain know as Pahto to its earliest inhabitants.  Growing up on a ranch at the mountain's base, Lloyd devoted his life to learning the mountain, observing the ebb and flow of its glaciers, photographing the play of light, wandering lush meadows and old-growth forests, hiking boulder-strewn slopes and scaling icefalls...and showing the way for those who've followed.  

Ever Wild is a mix of adventure memoir with enlightening doses of human history, geography, geology, botany, and a call for protection.  

Darryl Lloyd first explored the foot of Mount Adams as a toddler on the loose, but he and his twin brother, Darvel, have been earnestly hiking and climbing since boyhood, and they’ve spent most of their adult lives inviting others to join in. Lloyd’s comprehensive knowledge of Mount Adams is highly regarded by leaders in diverse scientific disciplines. For nearly fifty years, he has brought the mountain to the people through talks and slide shows attracting thousands, and his writings and stunning photography have appeared extensively in print. With his brother, Lloyd founded the non-profit Friends of Mount Adams in 2004, promoting protection, scientific research, and stewardship of Mount Adams. Lloyd holds a Master of Marine Affairs degree and makes his home in Hood River, Oregon.
