Hiking the Wasatch - A Hiking and Natural History Guide to the Central Wasatch

Utah's Wasatch Mountains offer treasures of outdoor opportunities within easy reach of nearly a million people. Yet the steep rugged terrain can seem intimidating to new hikers. John Veranth has hiked all over these mountains and has written a comprehensive guidebook for both the beginner and the expert hiker. Trails range from nearly level walks requiring less than an hour to ascents that challenge experienced mountaineers.
