Let Utah's best-selling trail guide writer David Day show you the amazing backcountry trails and out-of-the way places in Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef National Parks. This app provides details and images for 15 of the best hikes these parks have to offer.

Hikes in Zion National Park include The Narrows, The Subway (North Creek Left Fork) canyoneering route, Lower Subway easy route, East Rim with a side trip to Cable Mountain, West Rim, Hop Valley and Kolob Arch, and the Taylor Creek Middle Fork. These hikes offer wilderness, beauty and challenges for adventurous hikers: slot canyons, vermillion mesas, stunning scenery, breathtaking vistas, verdant riparian oases, short rappels, leisurely overnighters, thigh-deep wading and even a little swimming in a few spots.

Explore the limestone castles and spires at Bryce National Park colored in white, pink and orange. The names of the trails reflect the surreal nature of the geology here: Fairyland Loop, Peekaboo, Queen’s Garden. There’s also a trail guide for a long overnighter at Riggs’ Springs, on the southern tip of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.

Incredible Backcountry also shares the in-crowd jewels in Capitol Reef’s Waterpocket Fold: Spring Canyon and Chimney Rock; Cohab Canyon and Cassidy Arch; Hickman Bridge and Navajo Knobs; and the Upper and Lower portions of Muley Twist Canyon.

Each hike has facts, photos, trail directions, maps and other tips so you know what you need to plan and do the hike.
