Stone Time, Southern Utah: A Portrait and a Meditation

Renowned wilderness writer T.H. Watkins offers a portrait of remote areas of the fragile and beautiful canyonlands of Utah. He gives us a panorama of majestic mountains, buttes, and mesas; forest views of pinon and juniper and tall mountain sage; and intimate glimpses of rivers weaving through red rock slits in the earth. Through Watkins' exquisite visual and literary images shines his deep commitment to saving treasured wildlands that were old when humankind was "yet ungraced by the breath of Creation."
