What to expect
The third part, Rising from the Plains, takes McPhee to the high country of Utah along the Continental Divide. His guide is David Love, “the grand old man of Rocky Mountain geology.” Helping McPhee see the physical changes that have shaped this region over millions of years, Love also traces his own family’s history in this oil-rich, windswept land.
As McPhee climbs into the granite landscape of the Rockies, Rising from the Plains creates a fascinating picture of the interdependence of geology, commerce, and culture.
