Hidden Utah (Hidden Utah, 1st ed)

From red-rock canyons to majestic mountains, Utah is a state ready to be revealed by a Hidden guide. Author Kurt Repanshek has packed his bags and scoured the state looking for its many secrets. No place is too remote for Hidden Utah, not even Dead Horse Point State Park, an isolated island mesa 6,000 feet above sea level surrounded by cliffs, buttes, and towering spires. The guide also leads readers to the Grist Mill Inn, a luxurious bed and breakfast built into a former flour mill, and Caf Diablo, where rattlesnake cakes and pumpkin-seed trout are part of the daily fare. Hidden Utah explores all corners of this immensely popular western state. From the many national parks - including Bryce, Zion, and Canyonlands - to the mountains that encircle Salt Lake City, this guide selects the sights and sounds worth visiting while excluding the run-of-the-mill listings inventoried in "all-encompassing guidebooks." Extensive and descriptive park listings, Web sites, adventure sports, author recommendations, and special features add to the usefulness of this reader-friendly guide.
