On and Off the Beaten Path: Hiking Routes Near St. George, Utah

On and Off the Beaten Path: Hiking Routes Near St. George, Utah by Hansen, Eric. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780966299120.

This little book contains a handful of hiking routes scattered throughout the St. George Basin. Many have been used for years by local destination spas. They range in difficulty from kid-friendly trails to advanced routes for the physically-conditioned and backcountry-experienced. The route descriptions are meant to provide an introduction to areas in the region with great hiking potential and represent only a small preview of what’s out there. All are day hikes and none are intended to require longer than five hours. Orienteering tools, including waypoints for landmarks and route-critical locations, elevation profiles, three-dimensional maps, and satellite and/or topographical maps, are provided, along with a veritable scrap book of color photos.
