Geology Underfoot in Northern Arizona by Lon Abbott and Terri Cook

If you are planning a trip to see the Grand Canyon, the beautiful Red Rocks of Sedona, or the famed magical rock formation of the Antelope Valley, or the Meteor Crater, you MUST get Geology Underfoot in Northern Arizona by Lon Abbott and Terri Cook this book as your travel companion. The book may look like a serious university geology book on the surface, it is a truly fascinating read about Northern Arizona's unique geological past. For example, do you the patch of ground that is Northern Arizona today was once a seabed until about 1800 millions years ago?

Having seen the beautiful red rocks of Sedona, I was intrigued by its endless lines of tuscan red, brown and peach, towering spires perfectly sculptored by forces of nature, majestic mesas and butte rising above the arid desert floor. They did not just happen to look this way. I wanted to find out how it all began. This book did not disappoint. Tons of interesting information, I felt as if I had taken a university geology class :) See Pictures of Sedona
