Seen through the eyes of a young married couple, the many wonders are explored by auto and four wheel drive vehicles, by speed boat down the Colorado River and on foot. Full came production from the National Park Service under the guidance of Bates M. Wilson, Superintendent of the Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Monument.
