5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for families who like to hike!,

This review is from: Best Hikes with Children Utah (Best Hikes with Children Series) (Paperback)
We just discovered this book, and think it is absolutely wonderful. The authors are obviously very experienced in hiking with children, and besides just listing the possible hikes, they give excellent suggestions of how to make the day fun for the whole family, what you should take with you, games to play along the trail, etc. The book is very well organized and easy to use. If you want to go hiking with your little ones but aren't sure where to go, then this is the book for you!

This review is from: Best Hikes with Children Utah (Best Hikes with Children Series) (Paperback)
I bought the "Best Hikes" book Colorado last year and it was perfect for our family. It was a no-brainer to buy this book on Utah's hikes. We used it frequently in choosing great hikes on our trip to SE Utah this summer. I recommend this book not only for people with kids but to anyone who wants to take easy to moderate difficutly hikes as well as those who want to learn what's along the way!

This review is from: Best Hikes with Children Utah (Best Hikes with Children Series) (Paperback)
I was so bummed not to love this book. I think the book itself is a great idea because hiking is one of those things that can be really difficult with kids but, with the right trail, can be wonderful. So two stars for a great idea.
However, Keilty (I can't help but notice the closeness of her name to Kelty--a hiking parent's best friend) only includes nine "hikes" in the Salt Lake area, three of which are Old Deseret Village, City Creek, and Red Butte Garden--all very lovely nature/history walks, which we frequent, but not really what I'm looking for when I want to really immerse myself in unpaved nature, you know? I just think it's a waste of a LOT of incredible hiking options in the Salt Lake area mountains. Maybe it is more useful for other parts of the state. I'm going to get a standard guide to Salt Lake's trails and just look for kid-friendly ones.
