Comentariile autorului
“When I started to write this guidebook, I immediately became overwhelmed by conflict. I wanted to share with others the hidden treasures of thee Grand Junction area, but I was concerned that the book would contribute to the deterioration of land that popularity can bring.
Eventually, I decided to write this guide book on one premise: It takes as many people to save an area as it does to destroy it. I hope and pray that the people who purchase this guidebook will be enlightened by the tremendous aesthetic value of the Grand Junction area. I hope and pray that people will not only love this land but also be inspired to step forward and actively participate in preserving it as wildlife habitat.”

Colorado National Monument
“The Colorado National Monument owes its very existence to the inexhaustible commitment of a man named John Otto. Otto came to the Grand Valley in 1906. He was awestruck by the natural beauty of the surrounding area and the land that is now the Colorado National Monument. Upon the inception of his discovery of these spectacular canyons, Otto embarked on a nonstop effort to establish the area as a national monument.” From page 49, Grand Junction Hiking Guide
