The Best Bears Ears National Monument Hikes
Designated in December 2016 by President Barack Obama, Bears Ears National Monument covers 1.35 million acres of southeastern Utah. Inhabited for over 2,500 years, the area is rich with ancient culture and spectacular scenery. The hikes in this book range from easy strolls suitable for families with children to extended adventures into remote corners of an incredible landscape. The Best Bears Ears National Monument Hikes will educate readers about the importance of protecting our public lands.
The Best Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Hikes (Available November 1, 2019)
This guidebook covers the original 1.88 million acres of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah. The area was designated in 1996 to protect its natural wonders and preserve the area for scientific research. In 2017, the monument was trimmed to 1 million acres, reducing protections around some of the world’s most geologically diverse landscapes. The hikes featured in this book range from family-friendly day hikes to multi-day backpacking trips that will excite the most adventurous of spirits and will educate readers about the importance of protecting public lands, visiting sensitive areas with respect, and considering low-impact recreation as a pillar of multi-use policy for enhanced conservation. Contributions from archaeologist R.E. Burrillo, paleontologist Katja Knoll, and author David Roberts.
