Stone Desert

This new edition of a Craig Childs classic includes his original journal entries and pen-and-ink drawings inspired by the redrock desert of Canyonlands National Park. Originally published over twenty-five years ago, Stone Desert brings the wonder, politics, and wildness of one of our nation's most geologically and culturally unique national parks to readers everywhere. With an introduction by the author, this new edition includes Craig Childs's original journal, complete with pen-and-ink sketches, from which Stone Desert originated. Childs hikes the high mesas, navigates the winding canyons, and witnesses the ancient rock art of Utah's slickrock desert, telling the story of the region's natural history and revealing the ways his own perspective on landscape, recreation, and Indigenous sovereignty has shifted over the years.
