Grand Canyon Guide: Your Complete Guide to the Grand Canyon

Revised January 2015

The local's guide to the Grand Canyon, written by a local!

Whether your interest in the Grand Canyon is in a quick look from a few of the rim viewpoints, a week-long whitewater trip on the Colorado River, a stay in a lodge on the very edge of the canyon, a walk along a rim trail, camping in the rim forest, or hiking down into the canyon, this book is for you.

Grand Canyon Guide has two major parts, Activities and Exploring. In Activities, you find out how to get to the Grand Canyon and what to do once you're there. Exploring The Canyon is for those who want to learn more about the national park, national monument, national forest, and Indian reservations that all have a part in managing the lands of the Grand Canyon region. You can also learn more about the natural and human history of the Grand Canyon.
