Customer Reviews

Twofer... If you are going to one, park you should definitely visit both.

This book covers all of the best features of these two magnificent parks! The advice is great and helps to get you away from the crowds in Moab, Utah. We also recommend visiting Dead Horse Point State Park which is a short drive outside Moab. Also features many great off-roading adventures.

Very accurate & useful guide for hiking Canyonlands & Arches

We used this guide to do six hikes in the two National Parks and it provided excellent information for all of them. The writeups, descriptions, maps & summary information were all accurate and very helpful. Bill Schneider even seemed to anticipate the few times we would have a problem -- each time we were unsure of the trail direction, a quick look at the book showed that he had specifically included extra comments for the problem we had encountered. I recommend it wholehearedly for anyone wanting to hike in Canyonlands & Arches.

This book looks great.

I ordered this book for an upcoming hiking and biking trip in the Arches and Canyonland areas. We are striking out on our own after using a guided tour last fall. We are excited and apprehensive that we will not know where to go. This book is very detailed about the trails and we are now more confident about our adventure. I am glad that I ordered it.

An excellent guide for your trip to Canyonlands and Arches

This is a terrific book, with all the information necessary to begin some really interesting hikes. Details on each hikes include a description of the scenery, terrain (with a nice graphic showing the elevation changes throughout a hike), difficulty rating, total distance, time required, type of trip and trail. The details give a hikers perspective on each trail. Sections on backcountry roads, are also useful. The book lacks an index at the end. There are some informative tables in the beginning of the book that describe all the trails and a classification for each. Useful to gauge a hike to your experience level. Tons of pictures and maps.Overall a very useful guide.

Hiking Guide to Canyonlands and Arches

Many people think that the best way to see these two great canyonlands parks is to drive through them. But you will have no sense of these places unless you get out of your car and take a walk. You don't have to be a backpacker to experience these places on foot. Exploring Canyonlands and Arches is a great book for short, medium and long hikes and for finding the hike that is best for you and your physical condition.
