4 Utah Travel Guides - Great Holiday Gifts

Updated on August 30, 2017

Travel Guides by Christine Balaz, based in Salt Lake City, with photos by the author

This lens will provide information on four Utah destination travel guides that will be great gifts for family or friends traveling to the State of Utah in the USA. These guides were written by Christine Balaz and include photos taken by the author.

Ms. Balaz graduated from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire after growing up in Bozeman, Montana. Now living in Salt Lake City, she previously lived in London and Berlin.

I have no connection to Ms. Balaz. However, I do spend two weeks in the late spring and two weeks in the fall in Southern Utah visiting family, so have a keen interest in visitor and traveler issues in the State of Utah. As I write this, I am visiting near Capital Reef National Park.

The image of one of her books is available as fair use to promote the book.

Backroads & Byways of Utah: Drives, Day Trips & Weekend Excursions
This guide is most useful for planning day trips and week end excursions. It covers the entire State of Utah from St. George to Provo, from Moab to the Great Salt Lake and much of interest in between. I have personally enjoyed the Escalante to Capital Reef tour she presents.

Although his travel guide is titled Zion and Bryce Canyon it includes other Southern Utah National Parks and destinations specifically Capital Reef National Park - which I can see out the window across the deck from where I am sitting as I write this!
