Santistevan and Julia Moore, in their introduction, wrote "The spectacular geography of Taos creates a setting unlike any other. Geologist Paul Bauer explains why and how today's land forms came to be and why the Taos Valley is one of the most dynamic landscapes on Earth. The geology of Taos has had and continues to have a profound influence on the peoples who have made Taos home." His 2011 award-winning book "The Rio Grande: A River Guide to the Geology and Landscapes of Northern New Mexico" provides detailed information on access trails, history and landscape and is an invaluable guide for both historians and casual visitors as well as whitewater ehnthusiastics. |

Mil Gracias, A THOUSAND THANKS, does not begin to cover the many, many individuals to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. This debt is not only the living but also to those men and women who long ago began to preserve the journals and documents we now depend upon for knowledge of the past: the chroniclers who accompanied the explorers and settlers and who, dusty, tired and hungry, sat in the light of a candle to record in their journals the events of the day and the Franciscan clerics who made detailed reports of their canonical visits to the mission churches of Nuevo México.
