AUTHOR OF THE DAY: 

E.M. Forster 

Raised by his mother and aunts, E.M. Forster attended England’s Tonbridge School before enrolling at the University of Cambridge. His novel Howards End brought him great acclaim, and he went on to publish A Passage to India and A Room With A View, among other literary works. Forster’s themes reflect the shift in morals and viewpoints from the Victorian era to the 20th century.

Just 12 miles west of Las Vegas, the colorful, bare sandstone of the aptly named Rainbow Mountain Wilderness emerges from the valley floor – standing guard over the surrounding pinyon-juniper forest and Mojave Desert scrub below. Its sheer, towering red and white cliffs are cut by rugged, narrow, twisting canyons lined with willow, ash and hackberry trees. With wispy clouds pouring over the mountains, it is quite a view.
