Colorado's Canyon Country: A Guide To Hiking and Floating BLM Wildlands

Westcliffe Publishers, 1995. Softcover. Very Good. 8x88x136. The Book is in Very Good+ condition. From slick rock canyons to alpine wilderness, no scenery in the United States equals the diversity of Colorado's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands. From the world's second greatest accumulation of natural arches to towering 14,000-foot peaks, the number of places you never know existed will astonish you- and Mark Pearson has visited them all. His accurate directions and sensitive descriptions of canyon ecosystems make this book as necessary for your trip as a compass and a full bottle of water. This newly revised and expanded edition features a fresh look, more photographs, two additional wilderness areas, topographical maps and a special highlighted hikes feature. John Fielder (born 1950) is an American landscape photographer, nature writer, publisher of over 40 books, and conservationist. He is nationally known for his landscape photography, scenic calendars (which have been published for over 30 years) and for his many coffee table books and travel guides—including Colorado's best-selling Colorado 1870–2000, in which he matches the same scenes of classic photographs taken in the 19th century by photographer William Henry Jackson. Fielder has won the Colorado Book Award three times, in 1996, 1997, and 2000.
