“No one thinks more deeply about the very deep Grand Canyon than scholar and explorer Don Lago. In this generous, often spiritual journey, his intimate connections to place become our own.” - Rebecca Lawton, fluvial geologist, former Grand Canyon river guide, and author of The Oasis This Time: Living and Dying with Water in the West  “In the spirit of Henry David Thoreau and his collection of meditations compiled in Walden, Don Lago explores our human existence through experiences with one of nature’s most stunning masterpieces, the Grand Canyon. Lago links the very fabric of humanity to stories of the Canyon’s water below, heavens above, and rocks within, using the Canyon as a portal to understand our place in the universe. This is nature writing at its best!” - Kevin Schindler, historian and author of Past and Present: Grand Canyon
