Guide to the New Mexico Mountains; Companion Illustrations
In the 1960s, for the Guide to the New Mexico Mountains, Dr. Herbert Ungnade created illustrations of ridge lines, maps, and depictions of petroglyphs. From the 1940s through his untimely death in 1965, Dr. Ungnade hiked extensively in the southwest mountains and was intensely interested in providing information for fellow hikers. He kept index cards with detailed trail routes along with sketches of petroglyphs left by Puebloan people and created ink on onion skin illustrations as he wrote the guidebook. Due to the format size of the first editions, his illustrations were small and the details of his drawings could not be seen. As a companion to the 50th Edition of the Guide, published in 2016 by his daughter Liesl Ungnade, all of Dr. Ungnade's illustrations have been brought together into a life-size collection for the first time. Enjoy the artistry and hold a piece of history.

About the Author

Spending time in the mountains is second nature to Liesl Ungnade. She was born and raised in New Mexico, the daughter of Los Alamos author and scientist Dr. Herbert Ungnade. She climbed mountains with her father until his death in 1965. After leaving Los Alamos in 1968, Liesl spent 20 years working in healthcare as a paramedic/firefighter and registered critical care nurse in the Albuquerque area. She moved to the Four Corners area near Cortez, Colorado, in 1994. After twenty years of nursing administrative and teaching experiences, she continues work as a legal nursing consultant. She has hiked to the top of 14,000’/4267 m mountains, climbed into the Grand Canyon, and explored canyons throughout the Colorado Plateau desert. Currently, she divides her time between Cortez and Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, and continues to explore the New Mexico Mountains. Companion Illustrations is her second book.
