About This Book

A richly illustrated travel narrative and pictorial survey that documents North America's striking landscapes, arranged as regional chapters covering mountain ranges, cañons, waterfalls, lakes, glaciers and caverns. Combining on-site photography with descriptive prose, the author recounts journeys by rail, car, stage and foot to view the Rockies, Pike's Peak, the Colorado and Grand canyons, Yosemite and other notable scenes, noting geological formations, dramatic vistas, glacial features, and human traces such as cliff dwellings. Practical details of the photographic expedition and evocative natural history observations frame vivid scene-by-scene portrayals of the continent's varied topography.
