Step into the wild heart of Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante with Red Desert Paths, a first-person hiking journey through one of America's most remote and breathtaking landscapes. From the twisting narrows of Coyote Gulch to the glowing walls of Neon Canyon, this book guides you along red-rock corridors, hidden arches, and serene riverbanks that have remained virtually untouched for millennia.
Follow the author's personal odyssey across ancient plateaus, slickrock domes, and desert canyons as they navigate the challenges of solitude, endurance, and survival. Along the way, you'll discover natural history, Indigenous heritage, practical trail tips, and reflections on the quiet power of the desert.
Whether you are planning your own adventure or seeking a vicarious escape, Red Desert Paths immerses you in the colors, textures, and spirit of the American Southwest. This is more than a hiking guide-it's a meditation on landscape, endurance, and the timeless call of the wilderness.
