ST. GEORGE — Utah offers numerous waterfall adventures, and an author is releasing an information guidebook naming the best hikes in June.

"Hiking Waterfalls Utah: A Guide to the State's Best Waterfall Hikes" by Stewart M. Green combines stunning photography with facts and locations. It's user-friendly for all experience levels.

Green has written books for FalconGuides since 1985 and spends many hours researching in the field. He also takes his role as an author seriously.

"I've written a lot of books for Falcon and we talk about our responsibilities as guidebook authors not to overcrowd areas," Green said. "So some of the criteria I use to select some of the waterfalls I put in the book: is there adequate parking at the trailhead so people don't have to go across private property and are there actually trails to the waterfall because we don't want to send people off traipsing across the country and damaging the environment, animal habitats and ecosystems."
