A complete, user-friendly guide to Zion National Park, written by an interpretive park ranger. It's like having a park ranger in your back pocket.

Ron Kay has been exploring and guiding in Utah's Zion National Park for more than 30 years. During that time and in the course of his work as an official U.S. interpretive park ranger, he has answered thousands of questions from park visitors and knows exactly where they want to go and what they want to see. Designed to be useful for any person who wants to visit Zion National Park—from first-time visitors to repeat guests ready to see and learn something new—this guide includes complete trail descriptions, maps, mountaineering tips, climbing spots, a detailed trip planner, and fascinating commentary about the park's natural and human history, geology, flora and fauna. Also included are Ron's recommendations for visiting Bryce and Grand Canyon National Parks.
