Hi -

Two books that I have found useful in gathering information for the Western
Parks tours are:

Pages of Stone: Geology of the Grand Canyon and Plateau Country National
Parks and Monuments, by Halka Chronic and Lucy Chronic

and

Standing Rocks and Sleeping Rainbows: Mile by Mile Through Southeast Utah,
by K.E. Rivers

The "Roadside Geology of ... Utah ... Colorado ... New Mexico ... Wyoming
,,, etc"   series of books, many by Halka Chronic, also are helpful.

There is a wonderful DVD entitled "Mule Ride", about doing that in the Grand
Canyon, that is a hit with my guests.

And also, for all the long miles between some of the national parks, I like
to tell stories from the "It Happened In ... Utah ... Grand Canyon ...
Yellowstone ... etc" series of books.

I look forward to seeing the list you compile for these and other
destinations.

thanks for asking.

Mary Bendelow
