Welcome to the center of the most preposterously photogenic, astonishing, hikable, likable, and downright bizarre place on Planet Earth. Page, Arizona: Hub of the Visual Universe introduces readers to a strange little city and the yet stranger landscapes that surround it. Questions are answered, tips are offered, terrains explained. It’s all just a Page away.

In this “unauthorized guide to a preposterous lake”, both the lake and the terrains beyond the reach of the lake are revealed to all those willing to look beyond the obvious. Lake Powell Unchained reveals a bizarre paradox – the creation of surreal beauty from the ashes of utter destruction.

In the late 1950s and early ’60s, Page, Arizona was founded as a construction camp for the creation of Glen Canyon Dam – and the resulting obliteration of Glen Canyon and the Colorado River. For a town located in the midst of pristine wilderness, it was an unusually sudden and antithetical birth. Cliffs, monoliths, profound canyons, delicate sandstone fins, rugged terrain and sculptured stone of almost all descriptions surround the little town in all directions. They are the magnificent Badlands.

Explore some of earth history’s most interesting topics in Grand Canyon National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Vermilion Cliffs National Monument – from geologic time and mass extinctions to comet impacts and the creation of bedrock.

Join a quick tour of the forces and factors that make Glen Canyon one of America’s most unconventional, under-appreciated and geologically interesting terrains. This pocket guide contains stunning photography and geology facts perfect for a natural scientist or even just a casually inquisitive soul.

The Glen Canyon Dam DVD offers comprehensive information regarding the construction of the dam, detailing the process from inception to completion. Additionally, it includes a brief history of Lake Powell and Page, Arizona.

Memoirs of  “the 1952 season when the author and her family operated the now-vanished Rainbow Lodge and Trading Post in the far northern part of the Navajo reservation” in Arizona. “This book tells how the Holloway family coped with the isolation, interacting with a culture new to them, and catering to ”dudes” in a unique and distant place, in a time now gone.”
