Overview

A Colorado Book Award winner for Anthology, Monumental Majesty features stunning photography of Colorado National Monument from its red-rock canyonlands to its desert bighorn sheep. Legendary documentary filmmaker Ken Burns wrote the foreword, calling it, "A stunning book, full of exquisite imagery of one of the most beautiful places on the planet." More than 700,000 visitors every year hike, drive and cycle the monument, which is situated on the same high-desert Colorado Plateau that also is home to Mesa Verde; the Canyonlands and Arches of Moab, Utah; and the Grand Canyon. Woven throughout is lively narrative on the park's history, botany, wildlife, geology, inspiration to artists, Civilian Conservation Corps engineering, photography tips and more. Detailed graphics illustrate how monoliths are formed and identify layers of sunset-hued sandstone.
