Named for the book of the same title, by Edward Abbey. Wonderful book, and the music correlates, IMHO, as was intended. It's ambient but not all synths - there are a few instruments along the way and some emulation of the sounds of the creatures of the wilderness - it really does create a feeling of being out there, alone under a vast sky, clean air, the moods of night and nature - being able to almost inhale the nothingness/everythingness, to the point where you become one with it all. Makes total sense to me - might not to anyone else! Lol! I like it.
