Book Description
Backcountry Adventures: Utah navigates 3,721 miles through the spectacular Canyonlands region of Utah, to the top of the Uinta Range, across vast salt flats, and along trails unchanged since the late 19th century when riders of the Pony Express sped from station to station and daring young outlaws wreaked havoc on newly established stage lines, railroads, and frontier towns. Trail history comes to life through the accounts of outlaws like Butch Cassidy and his Wild Bunch; explorers and mountain men like Jim Bridger; and early Mormon settlers let by Brigham Young. Contains 175 trails, 544 pages, and 532 photos (both historic and color).




Backcountry Adventures Utah

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Backcountry Adventures: Utah navigates 3,721 miles through the spectacular Canyonlands region of Utah, to the top of the Uinta Range, across vast salt flats, and along trails unchanged since the late 19th century when riders of the Pony Express sped from station to station and daring young outlaws wreaked havoc on newly established stage lines, railroads, and frontier towns. In addition to enormously detailed trail information, there are hundreds of photos of frontier towns, historic mining operations, old railroad routes, wildflowers, and native animals. Trail history comes to life through the accounts of outlaws like Butch Cassidy and his Wild Bunch; explorers and mountain men like Jim Bridger; and early Mormon settlers led by Brigham Young. Contains 175 trails, 544 pages, and 532 photos.

SYNOPSIS

For a travel guide, this one is big: 8.5x11" and an inch thick—clearly not a pocket guide. It carries a lot of information in over 400 pages, including about 500 (mostly) color photos, maps, GPS readings, map references, and detailed descriptions of 175 primitive roads that are passable without recourse to specially equiped Jeeps. A further 100 pages give cautions, techniques, and history. This is the best of the guides to auto touring the wild lands of Utah. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
