"Edward Abbey - Desert Solitude" Top 5 Page for this destination Arches National Park Favorite Tip by Trekki

Favorite thing: If you like beforehand reading about your destination, you should not miss “Desert Solitude” by Edward Abbey. Born in 1927, Abbey came to US Southwest as a youngster. He did various jobs, and also worked for the national parks for a long time. Among this, he spent 2 years in Arches NP in it’s early days of being a National Monument.

"Desert Solitude” reflects about his love for pristine wilderness in general and in specific for this wild and rough desert.


Fondest memory: Quote from the book cover:

"This book may well seem like a ride on a buckling bronco. It's rough, tough, combative. The author is a rebel and an eloquent loner. His is a passionately felt, deeply poetic book. It has philosophy. It has humor. It has its share of nerve-tingling adventures - set down in a lean, racing prose, in a close-knit style of power and beauty."
