Description
Find your own journey. Utah’s National Parks offer plenty of options, from hikes and viewpoints to scenic drives through striking landscapes. Lonely Planet helps you choose which parks and experiences suit your trip, and allows enough time for the most interesting areas.
Experiences and content. The book covers Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches, among others, as well as areas around St. George, Moab, and Grand Staircase-Escalante. Maps and trail information are accompanied by background on nature, geology, and wildlife. The publisher highlights Angels Landing, Highway 12, and The Narrows, and also offers input on season, gear, and different types of activities.
Who is this book suitable for? This guide is suitable when Utah is a main destination on your USA trip and you want more depth than a general country guide. Use it to compare parks and hikes, and check current permit requirements and access conditions when planning the specific days.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A trip with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience.
A physical book is also nice to return to during the planning process. Bring it out when discussing the next stage, find an idea you had noted, and let the plan develop as you become more familiar with the possibilities.
