Combining unique travel choices, outdoor adventures, and little-known locales into guides where vacations meet adventures, each title in the Hidden series also offers readers the comfort of detailed maps, Internet information for each listing, author picks, suggested itineraries, and walking and driving tours. In this guide Utah-based author Kurt Repanshek leads to local hideaways like Dead Horse Point State Park, an isolated island mesa 6,000 feet above sea level surrounded by cliffs, buttes, and towering spires. His selective recommendations and opinionated reviews lead to pioneer history in Salt Lake City, Olympic ski runs in Park City, and scenic campsites in Canyonlands. Kurt Repanshek lives in Park City, UT. 34 maps are included.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A superbly presented, full-spectrum travel guide.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hidden Utah (Hidden Utah, 1st ed) (Paperback)
Hidden Utah adds to an inviting series, surveying less traveled hidden spots in Utah and providing keys to scenic drives, lesser-covered parks, Indian reservations and fossil quarries, and plenty of outdoors activities. Any considering a visit to Utah will find Hidden Utah packed with ideas from culinary adventures to hiking.

This review is from: Hidden Utah: Including Salt Lake City, Park City, Moab, Arches, Zion, and Bryce Canyon (Hidden Travel) (Paperback)
The book is fine as a background information, but we found it insufficient and a bit scattered in its attempt to cover so many places. It completely lacked to mention any price ranges on hotels (luckily we had the AAA travel book with us), and failed to put pertinent information about a specific location in an organized and easy to find way.

This review is from: Hidden Utah (Hidden Utah, 1st ed) (Paperback)
From walking tours and resorts to indian reservations and dinosaur quarries, Hidden Utah is an invaluable, "user friendly" guide to all beauty, diversity, and recreational resources that Utah has to offer.
