Title: One of the best hiking books I've bought
Review: This is a wonderful book, with beautiful photos and great organization. I'm planning a trip for four adults to the 5 Utah national parks and we will have limited time in each park, and this book made it easy to narrow down the best hike choices for us - both in terms of time as well as for our hiking abilities and goals. Apart from the hikes, there's also fantastic informational blocks throughout the book which are truly interesting and helpful. It's also small enough that I can easily pack it for the trip without taking up much space or weight in my luggage.

Title: Helpful Information
Review: I bought this book in preparation for a camping trip to Utah's national parks. Being senior citizens--though still in decent shape--I was interested in shorter hikes that wouldn't wear me out and would allow time for other sightseeing. This book was perfect for my goals.Several hikes were listed for each national park (with a section in front listing the best for views, kids, etc.). For each hike, there is a map of the hike, directions to get to it, and information about the hike. It was easy to skim through and find the ones that interested us and then read the details to know more about what to expect. We made excellent use of the book, and it helped make our trip one to remember.

Review: When planning a trip to the National Parks, information can be very overwhelming. After reading many articles on various websites we felt we also needed to narrow down what fit for us. This travel guide definitely helped us finalize our plans for the utah 5. Handy tips and travel info was very important to us. We had a trip of a lifetime, and this was our helpful guide.
