Reviews
"Definitely not your standard guidebook, this little seven- by six-inch book would be at home tucked in a rucksack with well-creased topographical maps or welcome as strong coffee by an early morning campfire. Part preservation manifesto and part meditation on the way a close relationship with the land restores our inner lives." -- Southwest Book Views "Who won't like this book? Anyone who is offended by an opinionated writer passionately defending nature against greed and overuse, along with anyone who likes cattle on their public lands or enjoys the drone of an ATV engine over the sound of the wind blowing through a large lot of nothingness. But if you appreciate nature writing at its finest . . . [you] should snatch this one up and share it with a friend." -- Farmington Daily Times "This descriptive panoramic overview of Cedar Mesa seeks to instill in readers a conviction of the importance of environmental protection for this area. . . . Readers are given the directions to Cedar Mesa, to some of the ghostly Anasazi ruins, and are warned about inherent dangers that can befall unwary footsteps. If you are merely inquisitive, order a copy of this book to enjoy from your armchair. If you love challenges, set aside travel time and enjoy a spectacular natural wonder." -- Electronic Green Journal, "Definitely not your standard guidebook, this little seven- by six-inch book would be at home tucked in a rucksack with well-creased topographical maps or welcome as strong coffee by an early morning campfire.

Synopsis
High on the Colorado Plateau lies a uniquely magical desert place: a land of sandy mesas and slickrock escarpments, an elegant maze of vertical-walled, vertigo-inspiring canyons plunging to darkened depths. Cedar Mesa, Utah, is a place frozen in time. A land that can only be adequately explored on foot or horseback, Cedar Mesa offers adventurous visitors magnificent examples of all the topographic and geologic wonders that define canyon country throughout the Southwest: stone arches, natural bridges, and breath-sucking precipices, plus hidden springs, hanging gardens, and a treasure of pre-Columbian Indian ruins. Now a writer and a photographer who have roamed the Mesa for more than twenty years--and know many of its well-guarded secrets--offer an intimate look at a place where solitude and silence go hand in hand. Animated by towering hoodoos--sandstone formations eroded to resemble all manner of spooky beings--Cedar Mesa is, in David Petersen's words, an undulating expanse of erosion-sculpted slickrock like petrified ocean swells. He and Branson Reynolds share insights into the natural and human history of the region; they provide a panoramic overview of the Mesa, then take readers on a personally guided descent into the canyons, where hikers can expect to encounter wildlife, prehistoric ruins, stone sculptures, and hidden pools. While providing details regarding much-visited locales, Petersen and Reynolds are more concerned with conveying an overall sense of the area's mystical beauty--capturing the spirit of ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings but keeping their locations secret so that their magic will not be lost. With its relative lack of roads, campgrounds, and maintained trails, Cedar Mesa is an Eden for personal discovery and hands-on adventure. But be it known, advises Petersen, that this is not yet another hand-holding, give-it-all-away, chamber-of-commerce-style 'backcountry' guidebook, of which there are far too many already. He and Reynolds have instead fashioned a book to celebrate and interpret one of the most palpably spiritual natural places remaining on the American continent--and to instill in readers the importance of protecting it forever., High on the Colorado Plateau lies a uniquely magical desert place: a land of sandy mesas and slickrock escarpments, an elegant maze of vertical-walled, vertigo-inspiring canyons plunging to darkened depths.
