Overview

Beatrice Farnham, an independent Boston artist, came to western Colorado in 1911 to paint scenic landscapes. During her visit, she developed a partnership with her eccentric guide, John Otto, the trail builder, caretaker, and promoter of Colorado National Monument. They soon married in an unconventional, widely publicized wedding among rugged canyons and rock formations. By summer's end, Beatrice had departed. This is true story reveals the background of Beatrice Farnham, details of her eventful summer and marriage to canyon guide John Otto, and how her life evolved after she left the canyons and her trailblazer partner behind.
