Arizona Wilderness: A Celebration of the State's 90 Most Pristine Places

Jonathan Buford has done the difficult and rewarding work of visiting each of Arizona's 90 wilderness areas, and his photographs in Arizona Wilderness take us to these special places. Through his lens and journal entries, we discover the different ecosystems, different seasons, different light, different perspectives that are Arizona. Page through this book planning future personal trips, or simply wonder at and relish the beauty and diversity of Arizona's wild lands. Enjoy the fall colors of turning leaves, the stark palette of the Sonoran Desert, the deep greens of forests. Listen for birdsong, rustling leaves, that rare sound of moving water in an arid land, perhaps the stealthy paw paddling of a jaguar.

In its 100-year history, Arizona Highways has proudly championed the state's wilderness areas. From tiny pockets of riparian landscape along the U.S.-Mexico border to expansive swaths of forest in far Eastern Arizona, this book is a celebration of Arizona Wilderness.
