I read Desert Solitaire before a two week trip through the Southwest. His descriptions of the landscape are stunning. I believe that Abbey was prescient in his thoughts about limiting human activity in our parks. They are incredibly overrun with visitors which detracts from everyone’s enjoyment of the places. I will be visiting Carlsbad Caverns later this month. I had to get a timed entry ticket just to enter the park. We are “loving” them to death.

A book recommendations based on today's post: There Was a River by Bruce Berger, whose writing you will love. He also wrote a superior book about Baja California.
