Customer Reviews

Loads of useful Information.

Review by Thomas W. Mason, 2009-09-17

This book is loaded with useful information. It allows a person who is unfamiliar with this area to make good choices about which trails are a must see. I highly recommend it.


Excellent guide

Review by John Hunter, 2009-01-21

I bought several hiking guides and general guide books and this was the one I found the most useful. There are so many great hikes in Utah it is hard to decide which ones to try. This book provides enough detail on enough hikes to be very useful. And they have already narrowed down the choices by limiting it to 50 hikes, so they are already wonderful. The information proved very useful in my opinion. [...]


Good but not great

Review by Trish, 2007-05-07

I bought this book because I was looking for short hikes for our family with elementary-aged children in all the titled Utah Nat'l parks. It does do a good job of describing the hikes in very great detail, how to get to the trail head, etc. Each hike is rated according to it's difficulty and child-friendliness and length of time to complete. This is all very good and helpful. However, I discovered after the fact that most of this same information is available on the National Park Service website and the brochure available for free at the visitor center, including some that aren't in the book.


Very Good Hiking Guide

Review by Joseph Boone, 2007-03-12

I purchased this book prior to a trip to Zion and Bryce National Parks. I've read a number of hiking guides before and found this one particularly helpful. The author gives excellent details both on the difficulty of the hike and what you can expect to see. After hiking most of the trails in both parks, I can vouch for the accuracy of the guide and found the information very useful.

The sole drawback is the lack of color photos which would add far more impact to these descriptions. This is a common failing of this type of book but it a shortcoming even so.
