A Hike in Needles: Canyonlands National Monument, Utah (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Canyonlands is a vast area of Southeast Utah that President Clinton designated a national monument. The land borders the Green and Colorado Rivers. With its soaring buttes and sandstone structures, it’s a visual delight. With its sun-reflecting sliprock and lack of water, it’s a hiking challenge.We hiked this dramatic landscape on the week after 9-11. The day sky was pure blue and empty of vapor trails. The night sky was a black velvet cloth sprinkled with countless diamonds. The campsites were empty except for us. As we hiked the canyons and arroyos of this fabulous place, we were back 200 years before modern man intruded on its solitude.
