100 Classic Hikes Utah: National Parks and Monuments / National Wilderness and Recreation Areas / State Parks / Uintas / Wasatch Paperback – July 1, 2016

This is an informative travel guide in the region I am going to visit. Well written, well organized, covers a broad kind of attractions I am interested in.

This book is very well organized, informative, and beautiful.As shown in the photos, each hike has all the necessary information you could ever need, a detailed map, a description, and beautiful pictures.Also: Love the "Hikes at a glance" table and the overview map with all hiked marked at the beginning of the book, as well as the list of "Recommended Resources" and Index in the end, where you could find different National Parks among others.

I like the way this is laid out. There is a state map with the trail marked on the map. The trails are in order by area. The information is good. I was debating buying a book when there are so many blogs and other information for free. I found better details in this book then on many blogs posting about different hikes. The most important to me is the location, and distance of each trail. The one thing that is not well labeled is what trails are dog friendly. I ordered the dog trail book by the same publishers. I chose this book because it's easier then buying books for every area in Utah that we will be traveling. I wanted more than just National parks as well. If you want just one book that list the best trails then get this.

We are headed to Utah for some hiking and I am so happy found this book. It is well written and includes just the right amount of detail.

The good:- All you need to get you some amazing experiences in Utah, great selection of hikes- The vast majority of the hikes in the book have the right descriptions, right trail lengths and detailsThe only "bad":- A few of the hikes have the wrong descriptions with details that are off so don't be stupid and buy add'l detailed trail maps, especially for the longer 10+ mile hikes.

I have live in Utah my entire life and have hiked and enjoyed this most diverse beautiful State in the nation. I am a retired Utah State Park Ranger and Manager that has lived and worked in eight different park areas through out this State and have hiked on many of the trails highlighted in Julie's book. During my now 15 years of retirement in Torrey, Utah, I have hiked well over 2,000 miles in this world class hiking area called Southern Utah. Not really knowing Julie that well, I was surprised that she was a writer. I purchased the book and found it to be a "must have" for anyone who enjoys the outdoor experience in this incredible State. It is an excellent source of information.

This is an outstanding book! The seller too was good (book arrived on time and in fine condition). I highly recommend this guide for anyone interested in exploring Utah-- can't find a better source out there!

Found this book of 100 classic hikes to be very easy to understand, covering a wide range of terrain and environments for all skill levels. With the expectation of Mountaineers Books, there are several keys for finding the hike for you. The guide includes gorgeous photos from each hike, maps and detailed directions. In my opinion, this is a must have for hikes encompassing the entire state and diverse ecosystems.
