Otherworldly America

Travel across the United States and experience America’s fascinating natural wonders.

From glacier-covered peaks to windswept red-rock canyons, and moss-draped rainforests to sun-soaked coasts, Otherworldly America reveals the country’s most breathtaking landscapes. Join nature photographer Jake Guzman as he explores hidden backcountry spots, iconic national parks, and overlooked state parks waiting to be discovered.

Journey from Alaska’s icy wilderness to Hawaii’s tropical landscapes, through the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, the towering Rockies, the dramatic Southwest, and the vibrant Northeast and Southeast. Each location comes alive with stunning imagery, hike recommendations, captivating stories, and photography tips, making the adventures to these places as compelling as the landscapes themselves.

Locations featured include everything from Kenai Fjords National Park, Kaua'i, Mount Rainier National Park, the Oregon Coast, Death Valley National Park, Custer State Park, Devils Tower, Monument Valley, Coyote Buttes, Ship Rock, Florida Keys, and so much more!

This is a perfect book for outdoor enthusiasts, armchair travelers, and anyone seeking landscapes so extraordinary they feel otherworldly—no spaceship required.
