Book Description

Moon Spotlight February 24, 2009
Moon Spotlight Arches and National Canyonlands National Parks is an 85-page compact guide covering Arches National Park and Canyonland National Park, including Island in the Sky District, Needles District, Maze District, Horseshoe Canyon Unit, the River District, and the unrivaled beauty of Moab. Authors W. C. McRae and Judy Jewell offer seasoned advice on what sights are must-sees, including maps with sightseeing highlights so that planning your time is easy. This lightweight guide is packed with recommendations on sights, entertainment, shopping, recreation, accommodations, food, and transportation. Helpful maps make navigating these popular national parks uncomplicated.

Moon Spotlight guides are affordably-priced, lightweight guides covering a smaller geographic region than Moon Handbooks or Outdoors guidebook series. The travel content in a Spotlight guide is pulled directly from individual chapters of larger Handbooks or Outdoors titles, with no introductory information (such as When to Go or Planning Your Trip), and no indexes. The results are compact guides to popular destinations that provide travelers with what they need to explore a specific locale in depth with fewer pages of very focused information.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Price!, February 19, 2009

This review is from: Moon Spotlight Arches and Canyonlands National Parks: Including Moab (Paperback)
Whether your interest is in 4-wheeling or hiking in and around Arches and Canyonlands National Parks you can do a lot better with many other guide books. This book can be classified as "once over very lightly" in terms of guiding you to real sites and adventures. Not only are there interesting places within the National parks not mentioned, the large surrounding area, much of it Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, is hardly covered. From personal experience, it is possible to spend weeks exploring the BLM territory without going into one of the parks. Wait until you get to Moab, Utah, before you buy any book. Try the Moab Information Center first as they may have books not sold in the National Parks shops such as David Day's excellent book on 4-wheel driving and hiking in Canyonlands. Also, look for any of the books by Fran (F. A.) Barnes or Jack Bickers.

A very accurate guide to this area of Utah. I liked it better than Fodors or other guides to the area.
