Hikes range from easy to strenuous.
This title by Michael Kelsey, our favorite hiking author, is devoted to Canyonlands National Park and vicinity. He includes 32 backcountry hiking routes with photographs and maps. As a bonus, he describes the access routes to the remote archaeological sites of Beef Basin country. And, as usual, he includes enough history and geology to make it more than a hiking book. 63 hikes and side trips into every corner of a million acres of spectacular Colorado Plateau scenery.
