A richly illustrated guide to awe-inspiring landscapes of the American Southwest, from hoodoos and musical dunes to cowpie bombs and dinosaur tracks. Now in its 4th Edition––over 35,000 copies sold!
The text blends travel tips, Native American legends, prehistoric and historic vignettes, and—as a unifying theme—explanations of earthly processes and events that have shaped land, people, and wildlife. The writing is informative without being academic. It covers the lands from west Texas to southern California and from northern Utah to northern Mexico. While the whole has continuity, each page-spread is self-contained for clarity and ease of use by travelers.
