Exploring Arches National Park: A User's Guide

Beware of fallen arches...and not just the ones on your feet. Due to erosion, Arches National Park in Utah is very much a "work in progress," with new arches being created at every moment and some old ones liable to collapse at any time. People unaccustomed to hiking will appreciate the sound advice this "user's guide" offers concerning the 2,000 natural stone formations in the park: which are the easiest trails, what to bring along (good shoes, water, and a camera), where to park and lodge. The video includes important information about the delicate nature of the park's environment, and an interesting history of the geology of the red sandstone formations and the petroglyphs left by early peoples. A nice bonus running throughout this informative and attractive video is the good tips on photographing the rocks for the best effect. Recommended, especially for libraries in the Southwest "Four Corners" area. Aud: P. (R. Reagan)
