This trip was my first visit to the "high desert" country of Utah. It was a great time of year to go: no scorpions, flies, or snakes (maybe you think that would be boring).

In this book you'll see: canyons, arches, mountain peaks, gullies, washes, basins, crack climbing, cattle grazing, Cottonwoods, mighty rivers, sandstone spires, twisted Junipers, rocks that look like faces, cacti, bleached bones, red anthills, Rubber Rabbit bushes, Sagebrush, Petroglyphs, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, mesas, powder-fine sand, and cairns galore.

I am pleased to be able to share a part of my trip with you.
