Grand Canyon: The Complete Guide

One mile deep. Ten miles wide. One hundred and sixty miles long. Covering 1.2 million acres in northern Arizona, Grand Canyon is a breathtaking act of geology. Teddy Roosevelt called it “the one great sight every American should see.” The panorama from the rim is one of the most impressive sights in the world, but Grand Canyon is much more than just a pretty view. Hidden within its depths are fascinating creatures, geologic marvels, the ruins of an ancient civilization, and some of the best outdoor adventures in North America. Trail descriptions for day & overnight hikes, camp grounds & historic lodges, history, geology, wildlife, and more. James Kaiser, 4th edition 2011, 303 pages, softcover
