Caprock Canyonlands
Book • 1997
Dan Flores explores the canyonlands along the eastern escarpment of the Llano Estacado in West Texas.
He describes the region’s geology, grasslands, wildlife, Native histories, ranching legacy, and ecological changes.
The book grew from Flores’s close personal engagement with land near Lubbock and his efforts to restore a small canyon property.
It presents the landscape as a distinct bioregion rather than merely a backdrop to frontier history.
The work is both a natural history and an affectionate literary portrait of a frequently overlooked part of the West.
