Product Description

From the lush alpine terrain of the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains to the fantastic rock formations of Zion, Canyonlands, Arches, and Bryce Canyon National Parks, discover Utah's treasures. This guide features twenty-eight drives that highlight the natural and cultural history of the land of the Great Salt Lake.

From the Back Cover

Pack up the car and enjoy twenty-eight drives through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Beehive State, land described as a photographer's paradise, a rockhound's nirvana, and a geologist's ultimate dream world.
This indispensable highway companion maps out short trips for exploring scenic byways and back roads, from the lush alpine terrain of the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains in the northeast; to the fantastic rock formations and brilliant colors of Zion, Canyonlands, Arches, and Bryce Canyon National Parks in the south; to the remote and desolate spaces of the Great Basin in the west.

Inside you'll find:
Itineraries ranging from 5 miles to more than 150 miles in length
Route maps for each drive
In-depth descriptions of five national parks, six national monuments, and two national recreation areas
Where to find Utah treasures, such as ancient pictographs and Indian ruins, ghost towns, and stunning sandstone spires
Historical information and suggested side trips
Tips on camping, travel services, and best driving seasons

Would highly recommend. Saw places that we would have missed if not for this book.

Childerhose "tickleddpink" (Somewhere outside of Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I used this book on my recent driving trip to Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. It was a real highlight on the trip. My friend, who was navigator, used it for "color commentary" on the drive. It's also a great supplement to other guidebooks such as Frommer's and Lonely Planet. My only criticism is that the maps and illustrations would be better in color and the text is a bit verbose. In spite of those bits, it's still five stars. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, November 11, 2005 By  J. Chou (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I went on the Grand Cirlce trip (Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, and Glen Canyon/Lake Powell) and found this book very helpful in planning my trip. I gave it a 4 star only because it doesn't give the time required for each trip. For example, for the drive to Temple of Sun and Moon, from the book, it seemed like a 30 minute trip. However, from a separate source, it said the drive takes 2-3 days to finish. Nevertheless, still a good source.
