Lonely Planet Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks (Travel Guide)

Really very useful book - we had a 3 week RV adventure around these two and other parks including Capital Reef, Grandstaircase Escalante, Canyonlands, Arches, Grand Canyon & monument valley - and this book was really useful for planning this part of the wonderful adventure. This book is more than just Zion & Bryce- it also includes chapters on Capital Reef, Grandstaircase Escalante, Canyonlands, Arches and Moab - so was really, really useful - it was packed full of really useful info from the different hikes and the levels of difficulty, through to places to eat and stay. It was invaluable to our planning and trip whilst there.

Ok but struggled as kept dipping into other geographical areas not covered by the book so if theres another book available that covers a greater area then I would recommend getting that if you're going to the Grand Canyon, Vegas and Phoenix. We also covered Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley then onto Phoenix via Sedona with scenic stops along the way so one book to cover the lot would have been well worth the extra bit of money (if there is a book..) in the long run.

Although not into hiking found this very useful for making the most of our trip to Bryce and Zion national parks

I`ve always trusted Lonely Planet guide books. This one definitely meets the high standards of the brand.My boyfriend and I are heading to Utah for two weeks and I am using this book to help us organize lodgings and the itinerary.The book covers more than just Zion and Bryce Canyon. It`s really great for all of the national parks as well as some of the towns and metropolitan areas. The authors are honest and frank. Their passion for the outdoors really shines through.I would use this in conjunction with websites like Yelp and TripAdvisor, as well as the national park official websites to plan the ultimate trip to Utah.I`ve done the same with places like Iceland, Puerto Rico and Lebanon in the past with great success. So I think this will work well again!

Wer einen Trip in den Bryce Canyon oder den Zion Natl. Park plant wird nach der Lektüre dieses Buches bescheid wissen. Es ist handlich im Format, von der Dicke wie ein normaler Taschenbuch Krimi, so kann man es gut mitnehmen. Der Preis ist absolut günstig. Man findet detaillierte Beschreibungen einer Vielzahl von Wanderungen verschiedener Längen und Schweregrade im und um den Park, viele Hinweise zu den Facilities und einige Karten. Letztere ersetzen meiner Meinung nach nicht eine gute Wanderkarte, da sie entweder in sehr kleinem Maßstab oder Skizzenhaft sind.Abgesehen von ein paar Farbfotos in der EInleitung findet man im Buch selber keine Bilder zu den Touren.Das Buch ist sehr übersichtlich gestaltet, man findet auf anhieb alles was man sucht, inklusive aller Adressen, Hotels, Restaurants, Shuttles etc.Fazit: Absolut empfehlenswert.
