Grand Staircase-Escalante is a hiker's dream -- the nation's newest national monument. The landscape looks innocently beautiful but is surprisingly challenging. There are slot canyons, sheer drop-offs, slickrock, rough rock, steep climbs, and flat expanses. Serendipity reigns here, and if you follow your instincts, you can find grottos of ferns hanging over pools of crystal clear water. You can camp for days and hardly see another soul. In 120 gorgeous color photographs, Anselm Spring showcases this romantic landscape. Accompanied by an essay of Mark Taylor's personal experiences, it is easy to see that this land is more than beauty -- it is spirit and soul, a mystical place where one can find oneself.
