Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

A work in progress for over forty million years, Arizona's Grand Canyon is recognized worldwide as one of our planet's most scenic environs. If truth be told, few of the canyon's five million visitors each year ever see enough of its wonders. This inexpensively priced paperback serves multiple purpose: as a meticulously research guide to Grand Canyon camping, hiking, river trips, lodging, sightseeing, and dining; as a grand scale nature pictorial to muse over; and a reader-friendly tutorial on the history, ecology, and geology of the park. Editor's recommendation.
