Grand
Teton National Park : A Visual Interpretation (Wish You Were Here Series),
by Jackie Gilmore (1 Edition, Paperback, 96 pages, 1995)
Book Description : Grand Teton National Park, in northwestern Wyoming, is a land of incredible diversity and beauty. The rugged peaks of the Teton Range dominate the valley of Jackson Hole. The interplay of light and weather changes the colors and moods of the Tetons from day to day, season to season. Alpine meadows, sheer rock faces, glacier carved canyons, and mountain streams greet the high altitude hiker. River bottoms, lakes, meadows, and sagebrush grasslands are found in the valley below. Mountains and water, wildflowers and trees, mammals and birds, temperate summers and frigid winters contribute to the character of this mountain landscape. This 310,000-acre national park is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, an area encompassing approximately 28,000 contiguous square miles in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. The Greater Yellowstone region is not defined by political boundaries but rather by the relationships among the topography, geology, hydrology, geothermal features, climate, plants, and wildlife that are found in this vast area. It includes Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, the National Elk Refuge, Red Rock Lakes and Gray's Lake national wildlife refuges, and seven national forests. |

Grand
Canyon, a Century of Change: Rephotography of the 1889-1890 Stanton Expedition,
by Robert H. Webb (Hardcover, 290 pages, 1996)
Photographs made in Grand Canyon a century ago may provide us with a sense of history; photographs made today from the same vantage points give us a more precise picture of change in this seemingly timeless place. Between 1889 and 1890, Robert Brewster Stanton made photographs every one to two miles through the river corridor for the purpose of planning a water-level railroad route; he produced the largest collection of photographs of the Colorado River at one point in time. Robert Webb, a USGS hydrologist conducting research on debris flows in the Canyon, obtained the photographs, and from 1989 to 1995, he replicated all 445 of the views captured by Stanton, matching as closely as possible the original camera positions and lighting conditions. Grand Canyon, a Century of Change assembles the most dramatic of these paired photographs to demonstrate both the persistence of nature and the presence of humanity. The level of detail obtained from the photographs represent one of the most extensive long-term monitoring efforts ever conducted in a national park and the most detailed documentation effort ever performed using repeat photography. Much more than simply a picture book, Grand Canyon, a Century of Change is an environmental history of the river corridor, a fascinating book that clearly shows the impact of human influence on Grand Canyon and warns us that the Canyon's future is very much in our hands. |

Hikes/Travel Guide : Oregon Coast & Coast Range, by
William L. Sullivan (Paperback, 240 pages, 1996)
The author, William L. Sullivan , 02/06/97: The prettiest coastline in the world! I've been visiting and hiking along Oregon coast all my life, but was impressed by the spectacular hideaways I discovered in writing this book. Don't miss Whalehead Beach near Brookings, the quarter-mile-long blimp hangar at Tillamook, or Tahkenitch Creek in the Oregon Dunes. I've had the good fortune to hike every trail--and I rehike them as needed, updating the book comprehensively about every year. If you have a comment or correction, let me know at sullivan@efn.org, and I'll check it out. My goal is to keep the book as up-to-date as possible. See you at the beach! |

State Atlas & Gazeteer Series
If you are planning trip that will potentially take you off the beaten path, where you will need and want more detail than provided by typical road maps, these atlases are among the best. With a detailed scale of about 2.5 miles to the inch, these guides provide road and trail information integrated into topographic maps. Their large page layout (15.5 in x 11 in) makes for easy reading. I have used these extensively in the southwest and would not leave on a trip without having the appropriate set in the vehicle.
