WasatchvoyageAn excellent book.

Voted 5/5

I purchased the first edition of this book years ago and have since purchased the second edition. Each route is covered well, and is a great addition to a topo map and general knowledge of the area and weather conditions. Kelsey points out interesting features, pictorgraphs, geological formations, springs, etc.
