Originally published in 1995, soon after Death Valley National Park became the fifty-third park in the US park system, The Explorer's Guide to Death Valley National Park was the first complete guidebook available for this spectacular area. Now in its third edition, this is still the only book that includes all aspects of the park. Much more than just a guidebook, it covers the park's cultural history, botany and zoology, hiking and biking opportunities, and more. Information is provided for all of Death Valley's visitors, from first-time travelers just learning about the area to those who are returning for in-depth explorations. The book includes updated point-to-point logs for every road within and around the park, as well as more accurate maps than those in any other publication. With extensive input from National Park Service resource management, law enforcement, and interpretive personnel, as well as a thorough bibliography for suggested reading, The Explorer's Guide to Death Valley National Park, Third Edition is the most up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive guide available for this national treasure.

"Whether you're an itinerant traveler, a seasoned geologist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, Death Valley Rocks is your key to unlocking the mysteries of Death Valley National Park, one of the most enigmatic places on the planet. Part of the acclaimed Geology Rocks series, this guidebook presents forty sites that testify to the awe-inspiring power of Earth's geological processes and lengthy history. Recent volcanic eruptions, shifting fault zones, and the sculpting power of gravity, water and wind combined to form Death Valley, the lowest point in North America, in the last few million years, but tucked away in nearby mountain ranges are some of the oldest rocks in the West. The featured sites, each carefully selected for their geologic impact, are accessible by vehicle except for Telescope Peak, which can be seen from just about everywhere because it towers more than 2 miles above the shimmering salt flats on the valley floor. From the folded marble in Mosaic Canyon to the colorful rocks at Artists Palette, each site is presented with stunning photography by the author, insightful commentary, and directions for visitors, making this book an indispensable resource for both armchair geologists and adventurous explorers alike"--
