What's the best book about hiking in the Wasatch Mountains?
I got a couple of great recommendations for books about the Uintas, and I bought those books. That made me remember that I need a good book on hiking in the Wasatch Mountains. Any recommendations?

Thanks. I just put that on my birthday list for my wife. Then again, if any of you want to send me presents, my b-day is July 8th.

Just to make sure you know, that book only covers from City Creek Canyon to South of American Fork Canyon, so if you live in Provo or Ogden and are looking for trails in that area, the book doesn't cover it. I'm not a big fan of ANY Wasatch hiking books, but the one Ice suggests is the best out there. Kelsey's Mountaineering Utah book covers most peaks in the Wasatch, as well as many across the state and is a good one to add to your collection too if you don't have it. I think all guidebook authors should follow Todd Goss' example who wrote the "Rock Climbs of Southwest Utah & The Arizona Strip." Best guidebook I've used for any activity, makes me wish all books were as good as it.

That Hiking the wasatch book that has come up a few times is really good. It has TONS of hikes in it. The only complaint I had was on a few of the hikes, the driving directions to the trailheads were either unclear, or altogether wrong. Still, get that book.
If the trail is too long, you're too old.

Still... that book is your biggest bang for the buck in regards to SLC area hiking.
