5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for hiking., July 30, 2008

By	Darrel Drumm "Darrel the librarian" (Bunch, OK United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the last 4 years, I've had a summer job at Zion and have used this guide in hiking all but 2 of the trails listed in here. The trail guides are accurate and give a person an excellent idea of how difficult a trail is along with how interesting it is. Take it with you. It will help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hike Zion with confidence, May 28, 2008

By	Jane-O (Adirondacks, NY) - See all my reviews

This guide book was extremely helpful especially for the relatively unused trails in the high country. I found the profile maps of each hike very helpful in planning for time and distance and elevation gain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Had it's points, June 8, 2007

By	T. B. Branch "S.W. Trvlr" (Salisbury, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book was chock full of great ideas and valuable information. It list every conceivable day trip/hike that you could take. There is one negative to the book and that is that the cover leads you to beleve that it will be full of colored photos and it does not. Sure there are photos to peruse, but they are all in B/W. This was dissappointing. But, this travel guide is indeed full of helpful advice to aide a first time visitor.
