Summary "A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains" by Isabella L. Bird is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century.

The opening of the narrative sets the stage as Bird begins her adventure at Lake Tahoe, describing its breathtaking scenery and contrasting it with her experiences in San Francisco. She vividly paints a picture of the majestic mountains, the fertile valleys, and the diversity of life she encounters along her journey. Bird describes the sights and sounds of the wilderness, her interactions with the Digger Indians, and her reflections on the development of the American West.
