| Zion: Canyoneering by T |

Customer Reviews: Tom’s Book on Zion Canyoneering…. Tanya Solid A great book A model for such books; buy it locally if you can Readers will find this a refreshing change from other guidebooks that deal with southern Utah. The text is well written. The maps are nicely done, if spare (you’ll need topos anyhow), and the photographs are both enticing and informative. Best of all, the book consistently and repeatedly advocates treading lightly and maintaining a healthy margin of safety. No doubt this has to do with the considerable difficulty of many of the routes described: writing in part for accomplished canyoneers, the author has chosen to treat his readers as equals. Such an approach cannot explain everything, though, since he also generously includes a large number of journeys accessible to lesser mortals. (And one dearly hopes that accomplished canyoneers no longer require guidance in how not to ruin the places they visit.) The prose is concise, witty, and informative, whereas many such books are chatty yet largely devoid of pertinent information. Some may be put off by this: if you enjoy “Sunset” magazine profiles or Successories posters, look elsewhere. But anyone who actually likes Zion — or anywhere else in the desert southwest, for that matter — will be delighted. The business of prose is no small matter, in my opinion. Unlike so many authors, Jones is educated and it shows: he has the knack for generating simple, muscular sentences that demonstrate a full command of right English as she is spoke. (Jones’ literacy will come as a particular relief to readers who have long endured books by a certain author who has occaisonaly to taken of the foto’s.) Such crisp and lucid writing makes the book not only more enjoyable but also more authoritative, since the writer’s credibility remains intact at the end of each sentence. Also worthy of praise is Jones’ inclusion of summarized accident reports in the back of the book. This might best be described as the Demotivators part of the text; certainly it should help steer neophytes away from routes that are beyond them. One last point: I bought this book at IME in Salt Lake City. Interested readers might want to try to do something like that, too. Local retailers, like the small press that produced this book, need support. In the case of back-country activity, this is more than mere romanticism. The owners, operators, and employees of small businesses in this trade usually form the first (and, in Utah, often the last) line of defense between wilderness and the spread of Jeeps, ORVs, and oil wells. If you like these places, you should try to support the people who work in and near them.
