Canyons & Mesas

Time-Life American Wilderness Series

by Jerome Doolittle

Look at a map, and all roads will be seen to approach the canyon and mesa country of southeastern Utah but few to enter it. This is the heart of a tough, high, lonely and lovely land - the 150,000 square miles of the Colorado Plateau.

Canyons and Mesas is another book from my shelf of Time-Life American Wilderness Series.
I enjoyed the text with phrases such as "...full of heat that sucks the water out of the blood, rocks that turn under the feet, snakes to bite, thorns to tear, flash floods to drown a man, and blizzards to freeze him."
I recommend it to all readers.

Having just returned from Colorado, and visiting the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, it seemed appropriate to read about the area. Even though this book was written in the 1970's, not much has changed because much of the area is uninhabitable. Beautiful to visit, but harsh for survival.
