this passage?

look and glowed with yellow and rich browns and a hundred
variations of red and silver gray, all picked out by streaks of
coal black. It was so beautiful that I stopped near a thicket of
dwarfed and wind-warped cedars and junipers, and once
stopped I was caught, trapped in color and dazzled by the
clarity of the light

Answer 2

To inform people of the natural beauty in a part of America

Step-by-step explanation:

In the passage above, the author describes how he saw the beauty of the nature and that persuaded him to stop and stare at the beauty nature has to offer.

His thorough description of the beautiful mainlands is because he wants his readers to know what a beautiful place it was. When a reader reads something, he automatically imagines the words in his mind that he is reading and builds a picture of it.

This description will surely let the readers know of the beauty and might as well persuade them to visit those areas as well.
