5.0 out of 5 stars excellent vacation planner, November 29, 2007

This review is from: Fodor's Arizona and the Grand Canyon 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

This book is easy to follow, wisely laid out and super for details in planning a vacation no matter for how long, a week or a weekend. It is a little scant on hiking trail information like the level of difficulty or actual lengths. It could provide a trail guide, but these are also available on other sites and this book does provide much more than just what a trail guide book would.

3.0 out of 5 stars not exactly what I wanted, March 6, 2009

This review is from: Fodor's Arizona and the Grand Canyon 2009 (Travel Guide) (Paperback)

Although this book delivers all the usual great details that Fodors excells at giving, the section on the Grand Canyon was much smaller than I expected, considering that it was part of the title. It's a great overall guide to Arizona, but if you're looking for details about visiting and touring GC, another book devoted to only that subject might serve you better.

This review is from: Fodor's Arizona and the Grand Canyon 2008 (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

For several years I've been using the Fodor's published books when going on vacation and wouldn't consider another product. When planning my visit to Arizona (having never been there) it was very helpful and detailed. The book is organized very well and now contains comments that have been submitted by other travelers. The book also contains a LOT of information about the Grand Canyon.
