Their year-long journey became one of the most extraordinary wagon trips ever undertaken in North America, and their trail became one of peril, difficulty, and spectacular vistas. Beginning in Cedar City, Utah, this trail crosses today's Dixie National Forest, skirts Bryce Canyon National Park, bisects Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, crosses Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and cuts through Bears Ears National Monument on its way to Bluff, Utah. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Though the trail that these devoted pioneers broke across the raw frontier was used for several years afterward, no highway was built over most of the route because it was deemed too rugged for modern vehicles. This updated edition features pioneer family histories and updated natural history, road logs, maps, and hiking trails along the historic route, making \u003ci\u003eA Guide to Southern Utah's Hole-in-the-Rock Trail\u003c\/i\u003e a significant reference for a variety of readers. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStewart Aitchison\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eBears Ears National Monument: A National Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Traveler's Guide to Monument Valley\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eGrand Canyon: Window of Time\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Official Guide to Grand Canyon's North Rim\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eA Naturalist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e's Guide to Hiking the Grand Canyon\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 29, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53426981732659,"sku":"9781647692834","price":26.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/hnw3tLciM_9781647692834_b9a46b30-5e11-4d63-b4e2-0f6767aaf552.webp?v=1780561153","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/a-guide-to-southern-utahs-hole-in-the-rock-trail-updated-edition-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
