Cedar Mesa: A Place Where Spirits Dwell (Desert Places),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
High on the Colorado Plateau lies a uniquely magical desert place: a land of sandy mesas and slickrock escarpments, an elegant maze of verticalwalled, vertigoinspiring canyons plunging to darkened depths. Cedar Mesa, Utah, is a place frozen in time. A land that can only be adequately explored on foot or horseback, Cedar Mesa offers adventurous visitors magnificent examples of all the topographic and geologic wonders that define 'canyon country' throughout the Southwest: stone arches, natural bridges, and breathsucking precipices, plus hidden springs, hanging gardens, and a treasure of preColumbian Indian ruins. Now a writer and a photographer who have roamed the Mesa for more than twenty yearsand know many of its wellguarded secretsoffer an intimate look at a place where solitude and silence go hand in hand. Animated by towering 'hoodoos'sandstone formations eroded to resemble all manner of spooky beingsCedar Mesa is, in David Petersen's words, 'an undulating expanse of erosionsculpted slickrock like petrified ocean swells.' He and Branson Reynolds share insights into the natural and human history of the region; they provide a panoramic overview of the Mesa, then take readers on a personally guided descent into the canyons, where hikers can expect to encounter wildlife, prehistoric ruins, stone sculptures, and hidden pools. While providing details regarding muchvisited locales, Petersen and Reynolds are more concerned with conveying an overall sense of the area's mystical beautycapturing the spirit of ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings but keeping their locations secret so that their magic will not be lost. With its relative lack of roads, campgrounds, and maintained trails, Cedar Mesa is an Eden for personal discovery and handson adventure. But 'be it known,' advises Petersen, 'that this is not yet another handholding, giveitallaway, chamberofcommercestyle 'backcountry' guidebook, of which there are far too many already.' He and Reynolds have instead fashioned a book to celebrate and interpret 'one of the most palpably spiritual natural places remaining on the American continent'and to instill in readers the importance of protecting it forever.
