Ancient Landscapes of the Grand Canyon Region The Geology of Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Petrified Forest & Painted Desert

"Ancient Landscapes of the Grand Canyon Region" by Edwin D. McKee is a deep dive into the geological makeup of the Grand Canyon and nearby natural wonders like Zion and Bryce Canyon. The book explores the Earth's ancient story as told by the rocks in these areas. It looks at rock layers from different periods to explain how these landscapes came to be. From the oldest rocks to the more recent formations, the book uses detailed descriptions, diagrams, and illustrations to show how forces like erosion, volcanoes, and the buildup of sediment shaped these special places over millions of years, and the book also explores what kind of life existed in these environments so long ago.
