Book Description
The Cedar Mesa country in southeast Utah is a land of convoluted cliffs with arches, natural bridges, hoodoos, spires, hat rocks, ledges, and alcoves. It is a land of flash floods and extreme temperatures that demands much from those who would explore it. It is also an unparalleled museum of geological features and ancestral Puebloan culture. This fascinating culture flowered for more than a millennium and visitors to southeast Utah are treated to a sampling of archaeological wonders. A Hiking Guide to Cedar Mesa describes sixty-three routes, ranging from quarter-mile walks to fifteen-mile day hikes, loops, and multi-day backpack trips. There is essential information on permits, weather, gear, road, trailhead access, geology, human history in the region, and leave-no-trace camping. Care is given to name only those well-known archaeological sites that are visible or immediately accessible from roads. Throughout, the author emphasizes proper visitation protocol for fragile archaeological sites. He states, "I have been touched by this landscape and would prefer to keep its teachings and secrets to myself, but I cannot. The experience of the desert should be available to everyone with the motivation to encounter it."

Book Description
This hiking guidebook covers all the canyons on Cedar Mesa (SE UTAH) except Natural Bridges NM. This book is not for beginners to canyon-country hiking. None of the usual material on prehistoric residents, the flora or the fauna, the rules and regulations, etc, is included. Instead this is intended to be a light-weight and small hiking-guide with only the core information (and skip the rest). The necessary topo maps are listed inside. No specific locational directions are included to any prehistoric places (rock art, ruins, or artifacts). Few GPS locations are listed-only those necessary for clarification.

Book Description
Hiking Guide to Anasazi Canyons in UtahDiscover the world of southwest canyons loaded with history. Cedar Mesa is an area west of Blanding, Utah which is not even labeled on many road maps. This area was occupied by Ancestral Puebloan Native Americans between 800 and 2,000 years ago. They grew primarily corn, beans, and squash, and made use of some wild foods as well. They made and used stone tools, pottery, and baskets. They pecked or painted rock art images on some cliff faces. They lived in permanent homes made of stone, wood, and mud. These may have been built on the surface of the ground, dug into the ground, or built in protected areas such as under rock overhangs and high in the cliffs. Many of the smaller structures in the cliffs are actually granaries where food was stored.This book is tailored for first time visitors looking for an Anasazi hiking adventure.
