Utah's Favorite Hiking Trails
It is informative and stimulating!. This book is a fabulous review of Utah's excellent hiking opportunities.

Bad Maps
Though the book contains rich content, I would have expected it to include more information about alternative routes. I've used this book extensively for climbing Utah trails. For example, it only includes information on one (the longest) route up Mt. Nebo.

Secondly, the maps are inaccurate. I'm a seasoned climber and found the maps for Nebo and Kings Peak to not be accurate and not drawn to scale. We ended up getting lost on Kings as a result of using his maps.

Overall, the book is pretty good and perhaps the best available on the market. However, the map accuracy leaves a lot to be desired.

This book has it all...
Highly recommended. great descriptions of the hike, recommendations on best seasons, really good maps, wonderful colour photographs, comprehensive driving directions and easy USGS quad map referenes - could it even be better than the incredible California Hiking? I bought Canyoneering the San Rafael Swell as well, and am sending it back because this book covers what I need in a much easier to read style - and is less likely to get me killed en route while rock climbing without a belay.
