The Colorado Plateau is America's western treasure, home to the
country's highest concentration of national parks, monuments, wilderness
areas, and state parks, and a near-endless bounty of wild, stunning
landscape. Discovering the Colorado Plateau will explore this region
through beautiful maps, full-color photography, and detailed
descriptions of the area's geography, history, and geology, as well as
signature activities that encapsulate the best each locale has to offer.
By purposefully shifting the focus away from the national parks, this
book introduces readers to the various public lands and protected areas
that are as exciting and wonderful as any of the major parks.
Unlike any other book published recently about the Plateau, this book
not only acts as a source of great information and imagery, but as a
practical guide and a true celebration of one of America's most
beautiful and endangered lands.
