Stone Canyons of the Colorado Plateau

Meer over het boek

“ìThis landscape is remarkable. . . . The heart of canyon country may be stone, but its soul, which Dykinga reveals so well, is as alluring as it is enduring.” —Nature’s Best Now in paperback, this volume explores two little-known canyon systems just north of the Grand Canyon National Park. Jack W. Dykinga’s glorious photographs reveal stunning desert vistas and sheer, slick, red rock, while Charles Bowden’s tales of the stark region make clear why early Spanish explorers called the land “Sal Si Puedes”—“Get Out If You Can.” Together, the author and photographer of Abrams’ The Sonoran Desert have produced a dramatic tribute to one of the most desolate and beautiful natural wildernesses remaining in North America.
