Product Description
With a large number of beautiful, high-quality color photographs, this guide is as browsable as the best coffee table books but also supplies travelers with maps, travel tips, and extensive listings for lodging, camping, and sightseeing. From river rafting to scenic fly-overs, the Grand Canyon offers a plethora of potential activities—but without careful planning, a trip to this popular national park can be overwhelming. This guide divides the attractions into sections—the North Rim, South Rim, Colorado River, and Havasu Falls—with lodging, dining, and camping information given for each. Outfitters for hiking, backpacking, mule rides, and rafting adventures are listed, and carefully researched chapters about the park's history, geology, and wildlife encourage leisurely study of the area's unmatched natural beauty.

A geat guide July 3, 2008 This author gives a comprehensive overview of everything to do here. The photos are fantastic and I love the snippets of history too. I only wish he wrote more guides for other places.

The Perfect Guide May 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Out of all the Grand Canyon guides I bought, this one was my favorite. The color photos are amazing, and the background info about the canyon's history, geology and wildlife is fascinating. If you're going to Grand Canyon I would definitely recommend buying this book.
Nice pictures but no real reviews of lodging or trips March 3, 2008 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
This guide had beautiful pictures, detailed maps etc... It listed lodging but no reviews of lodging, just a glorified description. Had I not seeked out advice and reviews about lodging at the Grand Canyon, I would have been seriously disappointed. This book is more of a thick glossy brochure than an actual "guide" to help you plan a trip.

One of the best Grand Canyon guide books I've seen. Useful for the first-time visitor as well as the experienced hiker.
