"he American Southwest is a scenic wonderland steeped in Native American legend, mystery, and tales of conquest. Rutted wagon routes that once crossed this grandiose and treacherous terrain have given way to modern highways allowing travelers to explore with relative ease. Astonishing landscapes abound—some within parks and some not—and each has a fascinating story to tell. This behind-the-scenes tour allows you to travel through time, to follow ongoing processes of change from distant past to present, with glimpses into the future. And to help you explore, you'll fmd maps, literature references, websites, and annotated listings of places you won't want to miss. Vissza
