A walk in the desert hills -- How it was -- Days and nights in Old Pariah -- Desert images -- The damnation of a canyon -- A Colorado River journal -- On the High Edge of Texas -- Down to the Sea of Cortez -- The ancient dust -- Gather at the river.

In this wise and lyrical book about landscapes of the desert and the mind, Edward Abbey guides us beyond the wall of the city and asphalt belting of superhighways to special pockets of wilderness that stretch from the interior of Alaska to the dry lands of Mexico.
