From looming mesa tops to the depths of the Grand Canyon, the intersection of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico is the very best of the American Southwest. The Colorado Plateau is a land of rugged peaks and raging rivers, college towns and trading posts. Home to mountain bikers, canyoneers, seasonal "snowbirds" and native tribes, it is truly like no other place on Earth.

Moon Handbooks Four Corners is the first travel guidebook to cover this fascinating region in detail, including:

• OUTDOOR ADVENTURE for everyone, from rafting the Colorado River and hiking through the Canyonlands to hot air ballooning and Moab's legendary Slickrock bike trail
• SHOPPING options to suit all tastes, including handwoven Navajo rugs, intricate Hopi silverwork, and antiques from the Four Corners' Wild West heyday
• Detailed descriptions of the region's NATURAL AND HUMAN HISTORY: prickly pear cacti, bighorn sheep, Mormon pioneers, and remnants of the mysteriously vanished Anasazi
• Full coverage of the region's three NATIVE TRIBES and eight NATIONAL PARKS
