Utah

Utah's several million acres of wilderness encompass deep sandstone canyons, thousand-foot-tall cliffs, and high alpine terrain - and this book helps outdoor adventurers tour them safely, reliably, and intelligently. Within these pages are profiles of 109 designated and proposed Wilderness Areas, as well as national parks, monuments, and recreation areas. Brilliant color photography and handy maps illustrate the author's meticulously crafted text peppered with wry wit. The result is an eye-grabbing guide that is both functional and a pleasure to read.
