Scattered across the West are a variety of strange, weird, and unusual sites and structures. Archeologist Salvatore Trento, who has spent almost twenty years locating, researching, and recording mysterious places across the United States, has unearthed archeological and geological anomalies that remain inexplicable to the scientific community, despite sometimes extensive investigation.

In the western United States, these unusual and enigmatic sites abound. Who or what, for instance, created the Turtle Rock Geoforms in northern Colorado–a grouping of eroded granite blocks with defined, recognizable shapes? What can be the cause of the Yellowstone Lake “Whispers,” or the Taos, New Mexico, “Hum”? Can a sand dune really sing? What purposes did prehistoric stone circles serve?

Lavishly illustrated with maps, historical drawings, and contemporary photography, A Field Guide to Mysterious Places of the West will guide you to some of the most mysterious and unusual places in the western United States and present the most current hypotheses concerning their origins and possible use. Including sites in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington, and Wyoming.
