"This is more than just a simple flower guide; it is an invitation to discover canyon country. By addressing the relationships between plants and environmental factors such as pollinators, soil type, and microclimate, Canyon Country Wildflowers will enhance anyone's appreciation of these lands." —David Williams, Seasonal Park Ranger, Arches National Park and author of Naturalist Guide to Canyon Country (FalconGuides) "Teaching students from elementary through adult is a challenge, but this guide will assist all participants in their exploration of the plants of the Colorado Plateau. The entire package, from the general information on the region to the specific species identification information, is accurate, concise, easy to follow, and meets a wide range of interests and abilities." —Ed DeFrancia, Former Field Director, Canyonlands Field Institute
