But it is second to none in the richness of its history and the variety of its character. In its 1900 mile journey from the snow-buried Stony Pass on the Continental Divide to the tropical salt marshes of the Gulf of Mexico, it passes through the spectrum of the continent's life zones - from the cold tundra of the highland meadows to hot, empty desert wastes....In this spectacular volume, the scenes and seasons of the Rio Grande are captured by the lens of Robert Reynolds, one of America's preeminent nature photographers, and the pen of Tony Hillerman, an award-winning novelist noted for his skill at evoking the mood of landscape. The two worked separately - Reynolds examining the river through his viewfinder; Hillerman studyhing its mystique and its history. Together their work explains why the Rio Grande deserves the place it holds as the 'Great River' of America's imagination."
