Field Guide To Mysterious Places Of The West by archaeologist, geologist, and experienced traveler Salvatore M. Trento is an exciting and unique tour guide to an impressive series of unusual and noteworthy locations throughout the American West. Ranging from the Turtle Rock Geoforms (granite blocks of Colorado which have eroded into recognizable shapes), to sacred sites, ruins, solstice sunrise petroglyphs, and so much more, Field Guide To Mysterious Places Of The West is organized by state, and complemented with black-and-white photographs and diagrams. Field Guide To Mysterious Places Of The West is very highly recommended an excellent supplementary guide for vacationers and travelers looking to see and experience something different in their journeys throughout the American West.

I loved this book. I was excited to read the different explanations about these strange things found in nature. It is even more interesting after you have seen some of these places for yourself. I think that the photos in the book added a lot to my understanding. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in natural mysteries!

The author covers interesting places in most of the Western states, with the noteable exception of Utah. After spending the past 2 weeks in Utah, exploring caves, petroglyphs, and cliff dwellings of the Anazazi and Fremont Indians, I referred to the book to see if any of the places I visited were mentioned. I was surprised to see that the entire state of Utah was ignored.
