Discovering "Hidden Utah"

The author, Kurt Repanshek, provides the reader with an informative and entertaining description of Utah State. After the introductory Chapter 1, "Utah Wandering", where an overview of the history, environment, and information about travelling and lodging as well as sports and leisure are given, seven other chapters follow and focus on the different areas constituting the territory (see below for the table of contents). In each chapter a preliminary description precedes details and peculiarities characterizing each area, and maps. Where relevant, the author "interferes" in the flow of the text by adding some comments, recommendations and/or curiosities which are delimited by a grey background and introduced by a bold-type title. Special marks called "hidden" are placed at different points of the book and signal "...that you have come upon a place off the beaten tourist track, a spot that will carry you a step closer to the local people and natural environment of Utah". The guide offers the reader a different way of retrieving information about a place by including a wide range of topics which will fulfil any visitor's interests and by gradually uncovering paths which are usually discarded in other guides and in some way "hidden" to tourists.
