Cacti of the Desert Southwest

Discover the cacti that surround you in Gold Canyon with this essential field guide to the Desert Southwest. Written and illustrated by naturalist Madeline Logowitz—an outdoor guide and "Artist in the Park" for Arches and Canyonlands National Parks—this guide covers 33 species including chollas, hedgehogs, prickly pears, and fishhook cacti across the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, Mojave, and Great Basin deserts, plus prairies, woodlands, and high mountain habitats.

Each species entry features descriptive captions, size, range, and multiple illustrations. Sidebar panels explore pollination, anatomy, spine structure, and growth forms. The handy fold-out format (6 panels, 4″ × 9″) fits easily in a backpack, glove compartment, or on your kitchen table. Durable waterproof lamination keeps it intact through desert adventures.
