A valuable resource when traveling through Zion. My favorite book to use, with complete maps and detailed information pertaining to local wildlife, plants, historical reference and useful information like bike trail access and seasonal suggestions.

I ordered this to prepare for an upcoming trip and am feeling 99% more confident about our hike(s).

Kaiser’s meticulous research into the history, ecology, and wildlife has allowed me a new appreciation and respect when it comes to visiting the park!

Highly recommend if you plan to visit!

I have spent a small amount of time in and near Zion, and this book makes me excited to return and explore with intent.

A fair guidebook - not nearly as good as his one on Joshua Tree

High quality images for those who want to visualize a place before they get there. Depth of detail some of the trade off for the glossy images.
