In the cracks and fissures of the Earth we uncover timeless wisdom, ancient magic, and a Gateway to the Soul. Here we learn who we truly are. Beneath all the layers, the labels, the stories, the myths.
Come on in. The door is wide open. To all who wish to wander.

Editorial Reviews
"Anyone who picks up this book, whether they've hiked every trail in the country or have never laced up a boot, will fall in love with Earth's magic through Scott Stillman's eyes. He brings canyons and mountainscapes to life through reverent observation and pure, joyful adventure reminiscent of Edward Abbey's desert days. His eye for rustic beauty reminds us all to slow down and rejoice each day we're alive." -EMMA MURRAY, BOULDER WEEKLY
