Book Reviews of Grand Canyon, The Complete Guide: Grand Canyon National Park

Book Review: This guide is so good I threw out my other two!
Summary: 5 Stars

I recently bought this guide along with two other guides for my trip to the Grand Canyon. This one was so good that I literally threw out my other two guides three days into my trip. (Actually I gave them away to other vacationers to reuse and recycle but terminology aside, I still ended up getting rid of them to lessen the load in my backpack because they were nowhere near as thorough as The Complete Guide). Other books can't compare to the glossy color photographs, maps, trail recommendations, park background, flora and fauna highlights to look for and most importantly the insider's tips provided in this guide. It actually felt like the other two guides that I bought for my trip (and to be nice I won't name names but they were from big travel book publishers) were written by people sitting behind a computer in an office who hadn't been to the Grand Canyon in years, while this guide reads like the author is sitting on a rock perched over the Colorado River sharing his insight to friends. I loved this guide and can't recommend it enough. Besides a good backpack, hiking shoes and some food, it's all that you need for a great trip to the Grand Canyon. Buy this one book, skip everything else that's out there, and you'll be all set.

Summary of Grand Canyon, The Complete Guide: Grand Canyon National Park

Filled with beautiful color photographs, this award-winning guidebook reveals the best of America's most famous national park. Grand Canyon: The Complete Guide equips travelers with detailed maps, travel tips, and extensive listings for lodging, camping, and sightseeing. From river rafting to mule rides, Grand Canyon is filled with adventures. But without careful planning, a trip there can be overwhelming. This guide divides Grand Canyon into sections--the South Rim, North Rim, Colorado River, and Havasu Canyon--and offers invaluable tips on enjoying the park's highlights while avoiding the crowds. The park's most popular hiking trails are covered in detail, and outfitters for backpacking, mule rides, and whitewater rafting are listed. Carefully researched chapters about the park's history, geology, and wildlife take readers behind the scenes, providing fascinating context for one of earth's greatest natural wonders.
