Book 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 out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
