Utah: Wild and Beautiful is a vivid portrayal of Utah s mesas, deserts, sandstone canyons, and mountain ranges by photographer Scott T. Smith of Utah. When Henry David Thoreau wrote that in wildness is the preservation of the world, he might have been writing about Utah, with its five national parks, seven national monuments, thirteen wilderness areas. In Utah Wild and Beautiful, Scott T. Smith offers us brilliantly colored, clear images of the landscapes and landforms in the state where Brigham Young and his lieutenants declared at the mouth of Emigrant Canyon on July 24, 1847, This is the Place. In 158 photographs carefully selected from 26 years of work, Scott shows you the home of some of the world s most beautiful natural features: the grand sweep of Capitol Reef National Park, the rugged Mesa Arch, a rippled slot canyon in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, and blood-red paintbrush in Zion National Park. With a foreword by Tom Wharton of the Salt Lake Tribune, the book captures the grandeur of state in images large and small: sunlit mesas as well as a black-chinned hummingbird on a strand of barbed wire; immense slabs of cross-bedded Navaho Sandstone as well as delicate claret cup cactus blossoms; the rugged Factory Butte as well as a delicate elk pictograph. Wharton writes that in this book, Smith captures the vivid landscapes of Utah, large and small, the from the white desolation of the Bonneville Salt Flats to the sandstone arches to the sandhill cranes.…

About the Author
Scott T. Smith is a self-taught photographer whose favorite subject is the natural world. A former research meteorologist, Smith bought his first camera in 1979 to take snapshots of his outdoor adventures. He has been a full-time freelance photographer since 1988—the year he quit his "real" job and he and his wife lived in their truck in the backcountry while he made photographs.
Scott's images of landscapes, cityscapes, agriculture, natural history, and muscle-powered sports have appeared in books, calendars, advertisements, and magazines, including Audubon, National Geographic Traveler, Outside, and Sunset. Scott has also published six books, including Along Wyoming's Continental Divide, Nevada: Magnificent Wilderness, and Farcountry Press's Nevada Impressions.
He has participated in photography projects including Daybreak 2000, in which 115 photographers worldwide captured the first images of the new millennium; and in America 24/7, in which photographers nationwide documented the USA in one week in May. In 2004, one of his cloud images was chosen for use on a U.S. postage stamp in the Cloudscapes series.
Scott and his Wife, Mary, live in Utah's Cache Valley with four pack llamas, some noisy geese, and four spoiled cats.
The late Tom Wharton covered many aspects of Utah, including the outdoors, for the Salt Lake Tribune since 1970 and was a past president of the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
