Travel guide with useless, petty and dismissive comments scattered about.

As John Muir says, "One day's exposure to mountains (or in this case canyons) is better than a cartload of books." Nothing could have prepared me to visit Utah's Might Five National Parks. Yet, I'm grateful for this book. It helped me to be on the lookout for many things on my trip and plot out some specific hikes that I didn't want to miss. There were way more things to read and learn about than could ever be explored within the confines of time we had in Utah. The book was useful, beautiful and fun to read in anticipation of adventure!
