Product Description
Hiking from Here to WOW: Utah Canyon Country guides hikers to the most compelling destinations in southern Utah's spectacular canyon country. This second book in the new full-color WOW series covers 90 trails that epitomize the "wonder of wilderness." In their years of their research, the authors hiked over 1600 miles through Zion, Bryce, Escalante-Grand Staircase, Glen Canyon, Grand Gulch, Cedar Mesa, Canyonlands, Moab, Arches, Capitol Reef, and the San Rafael Swell. They took more than 2000 photos and hundreds of pages of field notes. Then they culled their list of favorite hikes down to 90--each selected for its power to incite awe. Coverage ranges from short dayhikes to multi-day backpacking adventures. The book describes precisely where to find the redrock cliffs, slickrock domes, soaring arches, and ancient ruins that make southern Utah unique. It offers the boot-tested advice you need to create rewarding adventures. And it does so in a refreshing style--honest, literate, entertaining, and inspiring. The book's full-color interior features 220 striking photographs, engaging text, and a trail map for each dayhike and backpack trip.

Wow... Great Hiking Book! August 12, 2008
Karen Rahoi (Illinois)
I had previously purchased the Copeland's book on the Canadian Rockies, which was the best hiking book I had purchased (I have a large collection), so I had high expectations from this newest Utah book-- I was not disappointed. I have 4 other "Utah" hiking books-- this one is again the best. When you first open it, and glance through the pages, you get a strong sense of high quality. Jam packed with nice color pictures which are truly inspiring. The opinions are (IMO) well founded (the Copeland's have good discernment about what makes a "WOW" hike). Facts/details/maps are clear and plenteous without being overkill, providing all the info you need/want to know, and not a lot extra.
Cons? You have to dig deep into the nitpicking bag to find fault, but... I would have preferred ratings on the hikes like they did in their Canadian Rockies book. It's true, these are ALL "WOW" hikes (as they state in introduction), but some are more "WOW" than others! :-) Three or even two classifications of "wow" would have been nice. A few of the pictures (out of hundreds) have motion blur. The background on the maps is an orangish brown... they look classy, but for those who make photocopies of maps to take on the hike, a white background would have been better. Like I said, this is really nitpicking.
I highly recommend this book.

Received the Utah Canyon Country "WOW" guide today and my heart started beating faster just looking at the cover photo. Oh yeah, slickrock junkies will be pleased.
Skimming thru, the photos are great, the maps look accurate and easy to read and the trip choices seem excellent.
I'm not really going to get rid of my shelves of Utah hiking guides but this is certainly a great addition.
Whoops; five minutes after submitting the above review the cover came unglued and fell off. Bad cover but still a good book.
