Review of "Zion Canyon: A Storied Land" by Greer K. Chesher
This is the story of Zion National Park. Its awe-inspiring vistas and unique landscapes are filled with thousands of small eco-systems with a rich history of geology and culture. Park ranger Greer Chesher tells the story of this wonderous place as only someone who has walked every mile of it and lived in it can tell. Its a living and breathing entity that understandably captured the passions of Ms. Cheshire, who shares it with us here. Fabulously illustrated by the talented photographer Michael Plyer.
