Standing Up Country, the late historian Dr. C. Gregory Cramptons classic biography of the elaborately carved sandstone country of southeastern Utah and northeastern Arizona, returns to print in this lavishly illustrated, revised edition. This land of unparalleled grandeur is one of the earths great places, and its recorded history is as old as the United States itself. The original edition inspired a whole new generation of landscape photographers to discover the canyon country for themselves, and this colorful new edition includes some of their most spectacular work. Standing Up Country also features rare historical maps and photographs, many of which have never appeared in print before.

"Gregory Crampton's multi-dimensional portrait - geological, historical, scenic, informed with the ecologist's view of man and nature, and beautifully illustrated - brings into focus the wonders not only of the Grand Canyon itself but also of the high plateaus to the north that include both Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks."
