Customer Reviews

Great trail descriptions

A great guide. Not only does it have the usual food and lodging recommenddations of usual guidbooks it also has great trail descriptions. this was the main reason I bought the book. Each trail guide is headed by distance, duration, Elevation cahnge, Effort and trailhead location. This info helped me narrow down the best hikes for my allowed time. Three good color maps in the front of the book: Southern Utah, Zion and Bryce, plus the various maps in the book with major roads and unpaved roads in the hiking areas. Highly recommennded especially for planning day hiking trips.

Very Helpful

I was planning a photo trip to utah and so collected a large number of books on the area. I would rate this book as one of the best and most useful. It gives very handy hints on planning your trip. Most guides have so much info you can't wade through it all. This Moon guide assumes you have only a limited amount of time and helps you make decisions appropriatley. Highly recommended.

Everything from accommodations to day trips and overnight camping in each park

W.C. McRae and Judy Jewell's Zion & Bryce focus on Utah's two wonderful parks but also include sections on nearby Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches parks. A handy at-a-glance map on the back places all in perspective, while pages of detail cover everything from accommodations to day trips and overnight camping in each park. Accommodations are broken down by price ranges, hiking trails and scenic drives are outlined, and tips on making the most of each park's unique scenic attractions keep Zion & Bryce useful.
