A comprehensive guide to hiking around Salt Lake City area for homies and visitors alike. October 8, 2008 Fortunately, I recently went on a guided hiking tour of Switzerland with the author, Greg Witt. On one of many wonder-filled hikes, Greg stated: "You know, we are so fortunate to live in Salt Lake City. It is probably the best city in the world for hiking." I have rolled up and down northern Utah trails for several decades. Rest assured prospective readers, this book contains something for everyone interested in hiking the Wasatch Mountains and surrounding areas. Buy the book, take 2 months off work and do one a day. There are certainly more than 60 hikes within 60 miles but Greg's picked the winners.
Way to Go! Witt! September 2, 2008 I am a Provo product and just an occasional hiker, but was awed to find that I had been to several of the hikes in the book. As I compared them to the places I haven't been, I got very excited to try new things. As I reviewed the info on hikes familiar to me, I could almost relive the entire experience. The chapters are easy to understand, you can read the "short" version or the details, and you will find things that you can prep on and share with the littler hikers that you take with you--even new stuff you didn't notice if you've already hiked it. My friend who is an advanced hiker borrowed my book and he loves it so much he won't give it back! I'm going to order another one!

What a great resource this book is! It gives all of the needed information at a glance. Starting elevation, elevation changes,hiking times, even the water requirement! The author has obviously hiked every inch of each trail. As a scoutmaster and avid hiker, this book is worth it's weight in gold to me. I recommend it highly.Slimjim

A well written comprehensive publication of hiking in the areas where we live. This book is an excellent resource for anyone who going to visit or lives in the Salt Lake area.
Just the guide I've been looking for July 6, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We recently relocated to Utah from Southern California; we were familiar with all kinds of outdoor hiking activities there. But while we knew there were fantastic hiking adventures to be found here, we just didn't know how to find them. Then we discovered this book.
Most guide books give you just the facts--where and how far. "60 Hikes..." gives you much more: age-appropriateness, difficulty, wildlife, geology, and even history. It's clear that Witt not only knows what he's talking about, he loves it. This enthusiasm is contagious, making you want to jump out of your armchair and explore.
Although we might not make all 60 hikes, we know we'll love the ones we do.
I highly recommend it.
