A complete, user-friendly guide to Zion National Park, written by an interpretive park ranger. It's like having a park ranger in your back pocket. Ron Kay has been exploring and guiding in Utah's Zion National Park for more than 30 years. During that time and in the course of his work as an official U.S. interpretive park ranger, he has answered thousands of questions from park visitors and knows exactly where they want to go and what they want to see. Designed to be useful for any person who wants to visit Zion National Park--from first-time visitors to repeat guests ready to see and learn something new--this guide includes complete trail descriptions, maps, mountaineering tips, climbing spots, a detailed trip planner, and fascinating commentary about the park's natural and human history, geology, flora and fauna. Also included are Ron's recommendations for visiting Bryce and Grand Canyon National Parks. 50 black & white photographs, 6 maps.
My family and I have visited Zion in the past and it is a wonderful place. However, this book is just magnificent!! We are now in the process of visiting many many more areas in which we have not hiked and explored! It is so informative and exciting that I think it is an awesome read and so very helpful in planning our hikes in the park. Anyone who is interested in finding out the many possibilites and adventures that are waiting to be seen, Ron Kay's book is a must have for everyone!!
Excellent! Made my Zion experiance!

Amazing! I have made many trips to Zion National Park and this book made it a new experience. I would recommend this to any person wishing to visit the canyons or looking for information about the beautiful area. Ron did a great job on this book; I will use it for many years to come. I never leave reviews, but this has me so excited I think others should experiance Zion with the information this book provides.
Ron Kay's the Best !

We have just completed an Elderhostel trip around the Grand Circle under Ron's tutelage, and I have reviewed an electronic version of this book (I am in the process of purchasing the paper volume). Ron is an authentic naturalist and a dedicated advocate for the glories of this region which he has explored from corner to corner. He's also a very effective teacher. From an up-close and personal perspective, I doubt that there is anyone better qualified and able to write a book with this title and I recommend it strongly.
