The author has broken the trail up into a series of segments and for each segment tells the history of that part of the trail, then gives detailed directions on how to see, hike, or drive that section of the trail. It seems that most books focus on the trail from Escalante to Hole-in-the-Rock and then ignore the rest of the trail. Here, the author does a great job of detailing the further challenges that the pioneers faced beyond Hole-in-the-Rock. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In 1879, 230 settlers in southwestern Utah heeded the call from leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to pull up stakes and move to the distant San Juan country of southeastern Utah. Their year-long journey became one of the most extraordinary wagon trips ever undertaken in North America, their trail one of peril, difficulty, and spectacular vistas. Beginning in Cedar City, Utah, this trail crosses today's Dixie National Forest, skirts Bryce Canyon National Park, bisects the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, crosses the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and comes close to Natural Bridges National Monument on its way to Bluff, Utah. Though the trail that these devoted pioneers broke across raw frontier was used for several years afterward, no highway was built over most of the route because it was deemed too rugged for modern vehicles. In addition to the historical value of the story of these pioneers, this guide includes road logs, maps, and hiking trails along the historic trail. It also points out fascinating natural history along the way, making A Guide to Southern Utah's Hole-in-the-Rock Trail a significant reference for a variety of readers.
