Book Reviews of Frommer's Grand Canyon National Park (Park Guides)
Book Review: GOod overview
Summary: 5 Stars
This job does a nice job of detailing the pro's and con's of various accomodations and restaurants within the park, detailing the various ways of touring the park (by airplane, helicopter, hiking group or tour, rafting, donkeys, etc.) and suggesting hikes for those who are very fit and those of us who are less so. It deals equally well with all parts of the Grand Canyon from the North to the South Rim, and suggests nice daytrips from a variety of points within the park. It even gives good suggestions regarding the best times to visit, and how to take full advantage of the shuttle buses in the park, the best places to park ,and the best driving routes to avoid congestion. First rate!

The Grand Canyon is an overwhelming place, vast in size, depth, beauty, and appreciative hordes. Alex Wells is passionate about the Canyon, and along with a wealth of useful information, he imparts his ardor for the 277-mile park, from the smallest ant lion to the impressive half ton elk. He details the best drives, views, and bike rides, where to watch for wildlife and whom to contact for raft trips, the best places to lodge, dine, picnic, and camp, how to get there, when to go, and what's available for visitors with disabilities, pets, or children. From South Rim to North Rim, getaway towns to backcountry trips, Wells covers camping, sports, the flora, fauna, and ecosystem comprehensively and clearly. Wells's guide gives perspective on the magnificence, delineates the options, and provides a handle on just what kind of visit you'd like to arrange, whether it's a quick rim view, a day hike, or a wilderness backpacking excursion. --Stephanie Gold
