With the park's close proximity to his home (hence the title), Cahill waxes philosophically about the realities of the park and its biological diversity. He deals honestly with a myriad of subjects, including but not limited to grizzly bears, "Paint Pots," petrified forests, moonbows, and elks, in such a manner that you feel both his amazement and his rapier wit.
