Book Review: Buy this book...if you love nature.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Abbey has filled this book with many thoughtful observations of the desert, and life in general. This book should be mandatory reading for any present day backpacker or outdoorsman.Book Review: Desert Solitaire
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is awsome. It is hard to believe that 30 years later some of the same problems exist for the NPS. Abbey definitely was a visionary. This book is the best account of real life in a fabulous place. It takes you back to those National Park visits when life was simple and people didn't mind getting out of their car and walking. Today everyone thinks they can "experience" a park from their car, Abbey understood this was coming and didn't mind giving his idea's on the subject. The descriptions of wildlife, flora and fauna are fantastic. You can almost smell the wild flowers. If you really want to experience the canyonlands of Utah, read this book!Book Review: Desert Solitaire
Summary: 4 Stars
Desert Solitaire is definently worth reading. Edward Abbey is humorous and informative. His writing is very thoughtful and his plan to get rid of cars and roads in national parks (which has not been very successful) is a great idea. Too many people don't get away from the business of every day life and spend time alone with their thoughts. The book can be dry at times when he writes about twenty different kinds of flowers and their scientific names, but he is a great story-teller when he tells of his adventures.Book Review: Desert Solitaire

If you love nature and Canyonland, this is a book for you. Great from start to finish.
Book Review: Desert Solitaire
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic that should be read by all thinking Americans who care more for our country than they do about the exploitation of the earth for temporary gain.
