Explore Bryce Canyon with those who know it best Beneath Bryce Canyon's crockery rim, slender hoodoos blaze red and gold while bats wheel through dusk and a vast desert sky unfurls its stars. The Bryce Canyon Reader invites visitors, scholars, and armchair travelers alike to experience this singular landscape through the words and images of those who know it best. Award-winning author Greer Chesher has gathered an extraordinary chorus of Indigenous elders, explorers, scientists, artists, and modern observers whose writings reveal Bryce's layered geology, ecology, and human history. Twelve contributions from seven affiliated tribes offer perspectives rooted in generations of connection, while early travelers and contemporary voices trace the park's enduring allure. Artwork recalls a time before cameras, and Chesher's introductions frame each section with insight and context. The newest volume in the Press's National Park Readers series is both a guide and a meditation, illuminating the canyon's visible wonders and its hidden stories.
Greer Chesher is the author of Bryce Canyon: The Desert's Hoodoo Heart; Bryce Canyon National Park: Impressions; and the Utah Book Award-winning Heart of the Desert Wild: Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. She is a former ranger for the National Park Service.
"A rich assortment of perspectives on a spectacular, mesmerizing landscape, these interwoven stories of Bryce Canyon are as layered and multifaceted as the canyon itself."-Kathryn Wilder, author of Desert Chrome and The Last Cows
