Canyon Country

By Helmut Friedrich, Witold Sartorius, Helmut Sartorius, Witold; Friedrich

It is called the Grand Canyon State and its symbols are the giant cactus, mesquite and the roadrunner: Arizona in the American Southwest. Bordering on the north is Utah, the land of the Colorado Plateau and the Rocky Mountains. Both of these states offer a multitude of the world's mightiest natural wonders - all of which are described here in words and pictures. The Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest, the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park with its fascinating rock sculptures in the shape of columns, bridges, arches and entire castles and cathedrals: these are just a few of the many natural marvels of a region which cannot but overwhelm the visitor. And for those who want to know about the forces of nature that brought this bizarre welter of shapes into being, the marvels of Canyon Country are like an open textbook on geological history.
