Product Description:
Whether your interest in the Grand Canyon is in a quick look from a few of the rim view points, 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 is based on my dozens of years experience exploring the Canyon. This book is designed to complement the companion website, www.GrandCanyonGuide.net. The website has much of the same information, but as it is a website, I am able to update it more frequently. Although I provide many links within the book, some websites may not work well on the Kindle. Links that reference chapters within this book have chapter names, such as Contents, while links to external websites always have the Web address, such as www.GrandCanyonGuide.net. Remember, you can alway abort a web page load by clicking the five-way controller, and then pressing the Back button. All the links in the book, and many more, are on the website. Grand Canyon Guide has two major parts: Activities covers how to get to the Grand Canyon and what do 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.
