Reviews / Votes
Praise for the previous edition: "David Williams has written an excellent field guide to the Colorado Plateau that not only opens our eyes, but sustains our souls as we learn who we live among. Knowledge fuels wonder. When I am hiking in the desert I will take four items with me: food, water, a map, and this field guide. David Williams' book is that essental and that critical to a desert lover's experience."--Terry Tempest Williams, author of Refuge and An Unspoken Hunger "Wandering through bookstores from Moab to Zion, we kept stumbling across this beautifully illustrated, highly informative book on red rock country. A Naturalist's Guide to Canyon Country is an indispensable component of any Southwest trip."--National Geographic Adventure, Best of 2006 Gear and Trends - DesertMore details
