Provides an excellent sequence of maps useful to people running the river plus considerable background info on notable past river runners. Published on water resistant material. Very useful!

This was the perfect map to take on a river rafting trip down the Grand Canyon. It had a map of every mile of the canyon, with locations of the rapids, side canyons, points of interest, and essays on the history, the lives of canyon characters, the regional anthropology, the plant and animal life, the geology, and a guide to photography. Very appropriately the guide is sturdy and waterproof.

An absolute must for a raft trip down the river. The book provides some worthwhile facts, photos and images to provide even the youngest traveler with a certain base of information prior to making the trip.

The waterproof pages make the book even more useful, as I witnessed a number of people reviewing it throughout the day on the river without concern for damage.

Outstanding and essential guide for running the rapids and for general information about the Grand Canyon from the Colorado River perspective. Good geology, history, and river map information

This guide does not list camping sites. I bought this before I realized the lack of camping. I ended up buying the RiverMaps Guide by Martin & Whittis. It is much much better than the Belknaps. (twice the size, better and more information)

I placed my order on August 25th, it is now one month later and I have not yet received it. This is unacceptable. I do not encourage anyone to use this vendor. I have received no communication from them or Amazon other than a gleeful little message back in August to say the product had shipped. Right.
