Inhaltsangabe:

The featured sites, each carefully selected for their geologic impact, are accessible by vehicle except for parts of Monarch Canyon as well as Telescope Peak, which can be seen from just about everywhere because it towers more than 2 miles above the shimmering salt flats on the valley floor, the lowest point in North America. From the folded marble in Mosaic Canyon to the colorful rocks at Artists Palette, each site is presented with stunning photography, insightful commentary, and directions for visitors, making this book an indispensable resource for both armchair geologists and adventurous explorers alike.
