Beautifully photographed by Jon Ortner, this book showcases more than 200 images, including 100 panoramas. Shot in more than 60 locations across a 130,000-square-mile area that includes National Parks, National Monuments, State Parks, wilderness areas, BLM holdings, and Native American Tribal Lands.
Straddling the borders of Utah and Arizona, the Colorado Plateau is a stark and magnificent wilderness featuring the most breathtaking collections of multicolored landforms found anywhere on earth. Time-worn canyons, mesas, and vast windswept deserts from a great expanse of exposed rock formations. Buttes, towers, spires, hoodoos, arches, windows, fins, domes, bridges, and badlands comprise a surreal world of color-infused rocks, tinted soils, and shimmering sand dunes. Jon Ortner takes the reader to all of the famed locations, including the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Petrified Forest, as well as less-accessible and relatively unexplored tribal lands and slot canyons.
