This book is definately worth the money. I bought it while at Arches N.P. because I was amazed by the rock formations of the area. It was so varying that I wanted to learn more. This book definately helped me to understand in laymans terms. This book is definately for the novice. It will make you want to study the subject even more.

As one who has traveled, and will continue to travel and explore, the Colorado Plateau extensively, I find all of Mr. Baars' works both useful and entertaining. This one is no different. Mr. Baars has an excellent grasp of the geological complexities of this wonderful area and shares his enthusiasm and keen insights well. I would like to see more photography, especially color, because I believe it is important to visualize an area before seeing it in real life, if for no other reason than to enhance photographic opportunities. Even in this minor absence, the book is a great read,and heartily recommended for any student of the Plateau.

This is a nice introductory book to the geology of Canyonlands National Park.

It gives you a very basic introduction to the terminology of geology and then speaks about the specific area in Utah.

Once having read it a couple of times I was able to understand more indepth books like my favorite COLOR book, Geology of Utah's National Parks and Monuments.

I liked the book, but I'm by no means an authority on introductory books to geology so there may be better books out there that I don't know about.
