Grand Canyon National Park Pocket Guide by Bruce Grubbs

From Barnes & Noble

A 19th-century prospector viewing the Grand Canyon for the first time declared, "Something awful happened here," but for its 5 million visitors a year, the geological event that occurred there 17 million years ago can only be described as miraculous. Nearly everything about this Arizona national park preserve is awesome, but taking optimal advantage of its beauty and opportunities for recreation can be daunting. In ten maps, including two PopOuts, Falcon's Grand Canyon National Park Pocket Guide introduces tourists to the canyon and its environs, including Bright Angel and South Kalbab Trail. The pocket guide also contains detailed information on both the North Rim and South Rim, including tips about outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and even touring the canyon by mule!
