Product Description
60Hikes Within 60 Miles: Salt Lake City is the only guidebook that pinpoints the most exceptional hikes in the area. It contains meticulous trail descriptions that range from comfortable strolls for families to difficult treks for those looking for a challenging workout. Extensive key-at-a-glance information makes it easier to choose a hike based on length, difficulty, or scenery. A helpful list of hikes in the front of the book highlights those with special interests — best hikes for children, scenic hikes, hikes good for wildlife viewing, best hikes for runners, and more. Each hike report includes commentary on trailside geology, flowers, and wildlife. Historical notes provide fascinating details about early miners, trailblazers, the Pony Express, and Mormon pioneers. Whether lacing up boots, stepping into sneakers or strapping on snowshoes, Salt Lake City is a premier destination for outdoor adventure.

Way to Go! Witt! September 2, 2008
I am a Provo product and just an occasional hiker, but was awed to find that I had been to several of the hikes in the book. As I compared them to the places I haven't been, I got very excited to try new things. As I reviewed the info on hikes familiar to me, I could almost relive the entire experience. The chapters are easy to understand, you can read the "short" version or the details, and you will find things that you can prep on and share with the littler hikers that you take with you--even new stuff you didn't notice if you've already hiked it. My friend who is an advanced hiker borrowed my book and he loves it so much he won't give it back! I'm going to order another one!

What a great resource this book is! It gives all of the needed information at a glance. Starting elevation, elevation changes,hiking times, even the water requirement! The author has obviously hiked every inch of each trail. As a scoutmaster and avid hiker, this book is worth it's weight in gold to me. I recommend it highly.Slimjim

A well written comprehensive publication of hiking in the areas where we live. This book is an excellent resource for anyone who going to visit or lives in the Salt Lake area.
Just the guide I've been looking for July 6, 2008

We recently relocated to Utah from Southern California; we were familiar with all kinds of outdoor hiking activities there. But while we knew there were fantastic hiking adventures to be found here, we just didn't know how to find them. Then we discovered this book.
Most guide books give you just the facts--where and how far. "60 Hikes..." gives you much more: age-appropriateness, difficulty, wildlife, geology, and even history. It's clear that Witt not only knows what he's talking about, he loves it. This enthusiasm is contagious, making you want to jump out of your armchair and explore.
Although we might not make all 60 hikes, we know we'll love the ones we do.
I highly recommend it.
Where Has This Book Been All My Life??? May 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Last Christmas I scoured bookstores for a comprehensive book of hikes for the Salt Lake region, yet all I found were books that were sprinkled with hikes from all over Utah. (Sorry, but we're not driving 8 hours for a 1 hour paved loop.)
Finally! A hiking book that makes sense! All the hikes are within 6o minutes of Salt Lake City, and there's not a lame hike in the bunch. While we haven't done all the hikes (so many trails...so little time), just reading about them made our whole family excited to hit the road with book in hand.
This well-written guide is dripping with details and peppered generously with fantastic photos. Each hike has "key information at-a-glance" (which includes about 15 items that give you a feel for the hike) and a great section at the end of each chapter of "nearby activities".
If you know someone who is planning a trip to Salt Lake (or if they're lucky enough to live there) you've gotta get this book--it's the new "eleventh essential".
