About the Book

SOUTHWEST SCENIC DESTINATIONS: Exposition of National Parks & Monuments, Tribal & State Parks & Archeological Ruins is a self-touring informative publication about nearly ninety scenic destinations scattered throughout the American Southwest. Thus, an all-inclusive travelogue and knowledge base that provides readers with useful facts and interesting details about each featured destination.

Abstract: Written in the guise of a comprehensive encyclopedia, the reader decides on preferred scenic ports of call, as well as what and how much to read. For those who want to know and learn more about all the major scenic icons throughout the Four Corners region of the Colorado Plateau Province, this literary account of featured scenic places denotes a veritable traveler's guide that explains all the essentials in a straightforward manner. The methodology also presents subject matter that focuses on geology, natural and human history, as well as contact information, driving directions, and geographic particulars. Where applicable, supplemental details for select destinations are also included. Namely, hiking trails, germane topics such as archaeoastronomy, paleontology, and ethnobotany, as well as lionized movies filmed in some of these national parks and monuments. An added convenience for the reader is how each destination's presentation entails the most essential to more detailed particulars. As previously mentioned, a graduating treatise of information where one chooses what to peruse or omit. Like an A to Z encyclopedia, "Southwest Scenic Destinations" can be read cover-to-cover or piecemeal.

To cut down on printing costs, abbreviated Bitly URLs are embedded in all destinations and meant for readers who have access to the Internet. These seven-digit codes also correlate to Google images, graphics, charts, and illustrations presented in every destination. Included in the text are six addenda of subject matter, whose subject matter is more specialized (i.e., more details).

S. Forest Service; a planetarium control room operator; a museum docent; and the Coconino County Sheriff's Office.
