 Geology by car in Utah Feb 04, 2010
This is fine book, one of a series by a geologist done for many states. This reviewer looks forward to having it in Utah on the next visit. There would be no way for an informed, but non-specialized visitor to understand the exposed geology without a text like this.
Ms. Chronic has done a similar book for my native State of Arizona and it offers much information about scenes with which I've been familiar.

Spectacular idea Dec 27, 2009
I purchased this book for my husband, and he loves it so far. The book outlines most major roads in Utah and describes the geology along each road.

Another Winner In The Roadside Geology Series Oct 07, 2009
I am now addicted to Halka Chronic's Roadside Geology books. I read ROADSIDE GEOLOGY OF ARIZONA first, because I live in Arizona. But I love Utah's weird geology as much as I love Arizona's, so ROADSIDE GEOLOGY OF UTAH was the next read in the stack. It is a wonderful overview of the forces that shaped the region from the Precambrian Period to the present. Travelers who gaze from the car window as they drive the highways of Utah can satisfy their curiosity about the formations they see on the way.
Yes, I am a Geology nerd. I am fascinated with the "bones of the world," and I find this book extrememly satisfying. If you plan to take a trip in Utah, take this one with you.

 study a bit before you use it Jul 31, 2005
I'd recommend a little study of geology, and the formations found in Utah before hitting the road with this book. KC Publications 48 page glossy color "Colorado Plateau", which I found at one of the National Parks, gives you a great introduction to a good fraction of Utah and shows the positions of the formations along with a time line. If you are a layman at geology, unless you prepare, you will get dizzy with references to formations aided only by black and white pictures. The lack of color illustrations is puzzling when color means so much in identification of rocks in the area. If you can easily recognize formations, this book is a great aid as you travel.
