Book Description

Foghorn Outdoors: Utah Hiking March 1999
Utah is the favorite destination for hikers seeking smaller crowds and more natural attractions. Especially in the spring and fall, Utah's red rock deserts and the alpine splendor of the High Uintas mountains offer breathtaking scenery. With the comprehensive coverage readers have come to expect from Foghorn's Outdoors series, Utah Hiking is one of the most complete guides to hiking in Utah ever published.

The book covers the complete range of destinations throughout the state, from trails near well-known Zion National Park to lesser visited Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service lands to popular state parks such as Wasatch Mountain, Palisade, Millsite, and Green River. It also includes trails in the proposed Red Rock Wilderness Area.

Each trail is numbered for easy location on a detailed map of the area. Trail notes for each hike are supplemented with information on its length and duration, location of its trail head, directions to reach it, permits and regulations regarding its use, where to get maps, and who to contact for more information. With the same simple-to-use cross referencing and extensive indexing found in all Foghorn guides, Utah Hiking leads both beginning and experienced trekkers to the trails that match their hiking skills and fulfill their desire for natural recreation and solitude.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lacks maps, other info, April 11, 2000

This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors Utah Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 300 of the Best Hikes in the Beehive State (Paperback)
A disappointing hiker's guide to Utah. Lists lots of hikes, gives a 1-5 dificulty rating, 1-10 "appeal rating", length of hike, location, cursory instruction to get to trailhead. Hikes are organized by 6 regions in the state. The hike's description lacks info on altitudes (Does it climb 600 or 6000 feet? Does it start at 6000 feet so I need a coat?) The book's only map is a state map showing location of all the hikes - no individual maps of trails or roads to trailheads. Almost every hike suggests where you should go to buy a topo of the area. Why repeat this boilerplate for every hike? The trail descriptions don't explain the reason for the appeal rating. (Is it great red-rock vista, or a nice stream, or just developed campsites that make the hike a "7"?)

1.0 out of 5 stars utah hiker, December 13, 2000

This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors Utah Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 300 of the Best Hikes in the Beehive State (Paperback)
My biggest problem with this book besides no maps and scant detail on hikes is this... No pictures! Notta, nil, nothing. This book desperately needs a major revision.

2.0 out of 5 stars Plentiful hiking options but little guidance., July 2, 2005

This review is from: Foghorn Outdoors Utah Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 300 of the Best Hikes in the Beehive State (Paperback)
So many hikes in this book covering all regions of the state. What I initialy liked about this book, and which is its strong point, is each trail's length, physical difficulty rating, and beauty rating. Such a nice way to lay out a hiking book, thus you can ask 'where could I do a two night backpacking trip at a certain elevation in a certain part of the state?' Trouble is, for example, at least one late spring a couple years ago, I found a hike in the La Sals starting near Castle Valley/Moab which sounded perfect (moderate elevation- snow melted but not hot desert) but the beginning of the hike was on private cattle property- the trail was difficult to follow and closed by multiple gates! After a couple hours I had to head back to the car and rethink my mini-vacation. I've had similar trouble with a couple other trails- difficult to know what you're supposed to do in these situations; keep going and hope for the best?
