This guidebook was useful in my trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon. It has some additional hikes in the Bryce Canyon area but it's not complete. They should have included all the hikes in the Red Canyon area, not only a few of the highlights. Actually, Arches trail should be a highlight. The language is a bit dry and uninspiring but all in all, it's a useful guidebook to have.

These are the best guide books, period. I only use Falcon Guide books.

Great to have. Helped us a lot to decide which things to prioritize as we were limited on our time on our vacation.

Great book! If you are looking to do some hiking in Zion and Bryce, this is the best book! Full description of each hike along with a map and elevation chart. This book focuses on the two parks instead of throwing all the southern Utah parks together like other books. If you want information about hotels or restaurants, get the Lonely Planet or Moon books, for pure hiking there is no better than Falcon!

great book. I can always trust this series

A disappointment! I hiked several trails in this book and the milage is definitely off. For instance angels landing is supposedly 4.4 miles according to this book but nope its actually 5 miles. Book says that hike takes 2 hours. Im an ultra hiker and walk fast and it took me 3 hours. Are you serious that a 5 mile hike with 1500 feet of elevation gain while fighting myriads of people will only take you two hours! The book is also lack-luster and uninspiring. They writers provide the facts but you dont feel like you get the insiders recommendation you are looking for. How about best hike for mountain top views, wildflowers etc. Pick up another book and spend the extra money because this is not the helpful guide i was looking for.

Good book, worth having if you intend to hike these parks

A decent book, but like most Falcon guides, it's pretty basic in it's information compared with other trail guides about the same area.

There are some pretty popular Zion hikes that this book seems to omit, so that is disappointing, but it is a good guide to most of the hikes.

Excellent guide to trails of various lengths in Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks. I used this guide book extensively in planning this summers Southern Utah hiking trip with my 18 year old son. We got a lot out of both Zion and Bryce Canyon as day hikers thanks to this guide. Highly recommended as a planning tool for trail selection. The book is well organized and the trails are described well with needed information including length, elevation gain, time estimates and of course verbiage of what the hike is like.

Great book. Easy reading. Waiting for our trip to verify the info.
