Good Book - Hogmush -
I've used this book for multiple canyon hikes. Good reference with basic tips for what to pack and prepare for.






Great book in print; Kindle edition, not so much - Rob T. - NJ
I've long thought that Hiking Grand Canyon is one of the best books about backpacking in the park. The PRINT edition is, at any rate. This review is of the Kindle version. This version preserves all of the text, but leaves out the maps that are critical to understanding the text. This is NOT apparent from the sample version of the Kindle edition, which includes the page with the map key, and includes several pictures (in grayscale, but discernible). I've brought my kindle along on some trips because it's lighter than a book, and I'd hoped that this version of the book would be worth having along. It is, but it's not what it really should be.



HUH? - Judith A. Murphy -
My boyfriend and I visited the Grand Canyon two summers ago.
Strangely - I was expecting loads of information on hiking the Grand Canyon. I thought the hotel loby would be chaulk full of information.....it was not.

We sat in the lobby and got most of our useful information from some bus driver who told us which path is easiest and warned us to take toilet paper with us. That was something we had not thought of.

Next morning we waved off most of the rangers who tried to scare us away...and we commenced hiking down the Grand Canyon. We made it almost to the CO river when we decided that we had just about enough strength to make it back to the top. So I thought it would be a good idea to get a book that would tell us how to get down and get back up - without dying.

Unfortunately THIS BOOK is not about a tourist hiking the Grand Canyon. It is about a professional hiker camping out in the Grand Canyon and spending a lifetime taking routes from point A to point B - not necessarity leading up or down but many time Across.

TMI !!! Too many maps, too many trails, too many tips on pitching a tent and seeing snakes. I just wanted to go there book a room at the bottom and climb up the next morning.

If you want to spend the rest of your life in the Canyon this book will be a great guide.
If you want to tour the Grand Canyon by foot - find another book and let me know if it is helpful.

I still would like to make the journey.
