Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Utah's backcountry contains a magnificent variety of hiking opportunities at all levels of difficulty. Some trails visit alpine lakes, some climb mountain peaks, some wind through desert canyons, and others visit prehistoric Indian ruins. The trails selected for this book represent the best hikes in every category. All five of Utah's national parks are represented, as are most of the state's national monuments and wilderness areas. Also included are many scenic but unprotected areas that are currently being studied as possible candidates for future wilderness areas. The hikes range in length from a half-day stroll to the Fisher Towers near Moab, to a four day walk around Brown Duck Mountain in the High Uintas Wilderness Area. Each hike is illustrated with a detailed trail map and at least one color or black & white photograph. Along with the 75 featured hikes, dozens of shorter hikes are mentioned and included in a comprehensive index for easy reference. If you have ever planned an outing for a family or a scout group you will appreciate the value of this book. (Includes 78 color photographs, 172 black & white photographs, 75 trail maps)


From the Publisher

Utah's Favorite Hiking Trails is now in its second edition.

It has been updated and expanded with 48 additional pages of new hiking trails, maps, and color photographs. About a fourth of the book covers hiking opportunities in the state's five national parks, while the remainder is devoted to wilderness areas, national monuments, and other scenic but currently unprotected areas. Some of the trails lead to pristine alpine lakes and some climb the state's highest peaks. Others wind through Utah's redrock canyons or visit the cliff dwellings of the prehistoric Anasazi Indians. The book is also supported by a new internet website where hikers can get the latest information on trail conditions and interact with other outdoor enthusiasts. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of valuable information, October 17, 1999
By A Customer
Anyone intending to do any amount of hiking in Utah, whether it be for a day or an overnight trip, will find David Days' "Utah's Favorite Hiking Trails" an invaluable source of information! The layout and design of the book aids in pre-trip planning. Included are detailed trail maps for each hike, an extensive index, a rating of each hike by the author and a clear and definitive description of the route of the trail. Along with the maps and numerous black and white pictures, the author includes two multi-page groups of color photographs of the areas listed in the Guide. My wife and I found these to be very motivational and inspiring and are looking forward to our return trip to Utah to visit many of the areas Mr. Day lists in his book. I have seen and used many trail guides over the years and find "Utah's Favorite Hiking Trails" to be among the best and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Utah.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHO KNEW!, January 27, 2002
By Trip Fountain "Mathu" (Salt Lake Cityl, UT USA) - See all my reviews
Who knew there were so many great hikes local to the Wasatch Front? And it gets better than that, this book has a hike for every season and every day of the year. From easy to difficult, senic to exercisic, you'll never get bored in Utah again. This book offers some of the tradional hikes Utah is know for plus many hidden treasures. At first I was a bit overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. There were so many interesting sites I wanted to do them all. Having done quite a few now I can't wait to do more. And you'll never get tired of the views, you can do your favorites hikes again and again, try one in summer and in winter. The book als has great descriptions of the plants and animals native to the area. So take it along and lean about your suroundings in a quite medow or under a shade tree. A must for the hiking enthusiest!
