"The American Alps is a feast of geological knowledge as rich as the landscape that inspired it."
The American Alps explores the geologic history behind the San Juans. From basement rock two billion years old through the ebb and flow of ancient seas and successive periods of uplift, the San Juans are an open book to the history of the planet. A useful and accessible book for anyone living or traveling in the big-mountain country of southwest Colorado.
