Product Description
Imagine an arid land of colored rock; a land of cliffs, canyons, arches, spires, and mesas carved by water and time; a land of grand vistas and narrow, rocky crevices, a wild land visited by people for millennia -- Canyonlands.
Canyonlands National Park, located in southeastern Utah, was established in 1964 to preserve a geologic wonderland of rocks, spires and mesas, and a variety of Indian rock art.

books
The Story Behind The Scenery books are very interesting. They have pictures of whatever park they are about such as Canyonlands: The Story Behind The Scenery. A must read for anyone planning to visit one of our great parks.
