The dramatic geology of western states keeps posing questions - what is that? and how did it get to be that way? Roadside geology is your best bet to answer those questions. I consider these esssential references for any trip in the west.
The roadside geology series is a consistently excellent presentation of regional geology. In each state the visible and relevant geology is described along each of the major routes. There are maps, cross sections and photographs.
