Utah's Incredible Backcountry Trails, 2nd edition
This is a great guide if you're looking for hikes that go beyond the standard 1-2 mile touristy hikes. Hikes range from a few miles to multi-day trips. He includes good detailed logistical information like shuttle availability and areas that might be more technically difficult. The descriptions are really good, the photos are nice, and the maps are pretty useful. I wish all hiking books were this good! My favorite feature is his rating system to help in picking out the best hikes to do in an area. --Amanda Stone (first edition)I got this for my husband a year ago. Since then he has used it a number of times and has found that the maps are great and very accurate. It covers a wide range of hikes and is very detailed in the descriptions. I would buy this for anyone who loves hiking in Utah. --G. Bowerbank (first edtion)I got this book along with 10 other books from the library when I moved into the area. All the other books went back to the library but this one. After rechecking out like 4 times, I realized it was indispensable! I have used this to make sure my family of three young kids does not miss anything. Also, I have used it to decide on and plan a few major adventures. I am confident that I will have done the best hikes there are out here. I love the detailed descriptions, logistics, maps, photos, and especially the ratings! --Mark Hood (first edition)
