Product Description

Known for its canyons and breathtaking views, its whitewater rivers and Wild West outposts, its tranquil lakes and fantastic rock formations, Utah is one of the most beautiful and varied places on the planet. Backroads of Utah takes you to every corner of this spectacular state, from Dinosaur National Monument to Rainbow Bridge, from historic squares to outlaw hideaways, from the vaulting natural arches of Arches National Park to the exquisite formations in Timpanogos Cave.

Utah, home to five national parks, seven national monuments, and six national forests (as well as forty state parks and an extensive system of scenic byways), has something for every traveler. And whether youre seeking adventure or the quiet contemplation of nature, an immersion in history or a taste of culture, the backroad adventures charted in this book will take you where you want to go.

Theresa Husariks inviting text and lovely color photographs offer a thorough overview of Utahs landscapes, its legacy, and its people. With detailed travel directions and maps, as well as entertaining sidelights from the states history, this handy guide to Utahs justly famous attractions and lesser-known gems makes a perfect companion for any traveler in the Beehive State.

GREAT PICTURES NOT MUCH ELSE

Review by NPS, 2010-01-30

I WISH I HAD HEEDED THE OTHER REVEIWS I READ... WE WANTED TIPS TO OFF THE BEATEN TRACK THINGS TO SEE AND DO ... BUT MOST OF THE NARRATIVE WAS TYPICAL TOURIST RHETORIC. PICTURES ARE TRULY BEAUTFUL AND IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.

Yay Utah!

Review by Backroads, 2008-11-09

This is a sparkling must for any fan of Utah. Ms. Husarik and her stunning photographs take an adventure through, as you may guess from the title, less-traveled highways and roads of Utah. Maps and step-by-step directions are provided, as well as plenty of history and observation.

save your money

Review by Evelyn Johnson, 2008-07-21

The guy who gave this a one star was being generous. Too bad I had already bought the book by then.
I am surprised that this book found a publisher; must be nepotism or something.
Also, seems pretty sneaky to give your own book a five star review. Authors should NOT be reviewing their own books!

Real Time Travel Guide to Utah

Review by Jude, 2008-06-24

I love this book.
Bought in the Spring, it is a very popular among the house guests. I went on line to buy a few for gifts.

The obviously active author took the photos and drove the roads, rather like an old fashioned "route 66" take on travel. However, the information is approachable and current spiced with a little history.

Enjoy!
