Description
Pack up the car and enjoy twenty-eight drives through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Beehive State, land described as a photographer’s paradise, a rockhound’s nirvana, and a geologist’s ultimate dream world. This indispensable highway companion maps out short trips for exploring scenic byways and back roads, from the lush alpine terrain of the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains in the northeast; to the fantastic rock formations and brilliant colors of Zion, Canyonlands, Arches, and Bryce Canyon National Parks in the south; to the remote and desolate spaces of the Great Basin in the west.
Inside you’ll find:
- Itineraries ranging from 5 miles to more than 150 miles in length
- Route maps for each drive
- In-depth descriptions of five national parks, six national monuments, and two national recreation areas
- Where to find Utah treasures, such as ancient pictographs and Indian ruins, ghost towns, and stunning sandstone spires
- Historical information and suggested side trips
- Tips on camping, travel services, and best driving seasons
