This review is from: Salt Lake City, Park City, Provo & Utah's High Country Resorts: Great Destinations (Explorer's Great Destinations) (Paperback)

This book looked perfect for our week-long trip to Park City this summer, but I ended up finding much more relevant information on the internet and through visitor centers. Not one travel decision we made during the entire week was influenced by this book--and I read it cover to cover. It summarizes a lot of available things to do, but it doesn't rate things to give you an idea of what would be worthwhile to do. We didn't use any of the outdoors stuff since we went during the summer and the summer activities were too old for our 2-year old and 4-year old. The introductions to each section were interesting, but fairly Morman-biased (expected, I guess). Anyway, I had modest hopes for this book, but they were not fulfilled. It was a waste of money for me.
