I totally have to own this book. The author gives a very through look at camping in Utah. The book is divided into various regions and lists their respective camping options. The author gives thorough information on what to expect at each of the feature camp grounds and rates the best options for families, scenery, hiking, etc. This book makes me want to get out there and spend some time in my state's backyard.
