Let’s Go: Discover the Canyons of the American Southwest

Host Corbin Hawkins is joined by Matt Turner who will take you on a virtual journey through centuries of time, captured in the multicolored layers of sandstone that form America’s canyonlands. Corbin and Matt reveal highlights and hidden corners of the famous national park trifecta of Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon—the focus of Nat Hab’s intimate journey into the red rock wilderness of the American Southwest. From the maze of hoodoos in Bryce Canyon, glowing pink at sunrise, to the vertical ramparts of Zion that flank the Virgin River, from the Grand Canyon’s precipitous rim to its shadowy depths below, the geology of these Colorado Plateau landmarks will captivate you. The region’s cultural history also runs deep: learn about the indigenous peoples who have been at home in these rugged climes for centuries, and hear tales of early explorers and pioneers who challenged some of the most intense terrain and conditions on Earth to explore these entrancing landscapes.
