The illustrated story on the right-hand pages is gripping fiction, following the lives of the mammals, birds, reptiles and plants and their closely interconnected paths in a desert canyon. Experience a flash flood and visit the canyon potholes with the wildlife. Explore Anasazi lifeways and artifacts, and the ancient sites where some of the story takes place. The pages facing the text give fascinating details, and an enriched field-guide background of factual (and fun) related information. Superb illustrations illuminate every subject - from tracks and skulls and animal behavior to petrified sand dunes and dinosaur footprints. Carefully researched "information nuggets" spark insight on what's happening in the picture / story onthe right-hand page. There are maps of the Colorado Plateau and the fictional redrock canyon, a great guide to the geology of all the papular parks and monuments, plus hiking and camping do's and don'ts and an entertaining, low inpact Things-To-Do section.
