Product Description

Whether your interest in the Grand Canyon is in a quick look from a few of the rim view points, a week-long whitewater trip on the Colorado River, a stay in a lodge on the very edge of the canyon, a walk along a rim trail, camping in the rim forest, or hiking down into the canyon, this book is for you.

Grand Canyon Guide has two major parts, Activities and Exploring. In Activities, you find out how to get to the Grand Canyon and what do do once you're there. Exploring The Canyon is for those who want to learn more about the national park, national monument, national forest, and Indian reservations that all have a part in managing the lands of the Grand Canyon region. You can also learn more about the natural and human history of the Grand Canyon.

In the third printing, I added mile-by-mile scenic drives, as kindly suggested by a reviewer, and added more information to the scenic view point descriptions. I also added to the descriptions of some of the historic buildings in the park.

I take reviews and comments seriously, and will incorporate your suggestions into future editions of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grand Canyon Guide Thoughts, August 15, 2010
This review is from: Grand Canyon Guide: Your Complete Guide to the Grand Canyon (Kindle Edition)
Well thought out & comprehensive guide for the Grand Canyon. It's good information prior to arrival. Published in 2010 so one may be assured that its contents are timely. If you have the time I would point you toward the North Rim. Be certain to have a reservation at the lodge before making the trip.

This review is from: Grand Canyon Guide: Your Complete Guide to the Grand Canyon (Kindle Edition)
Has all you are probably looking for. Trail maps, rim maps, overall map, and road maps. Trail details and hiking recommendations. About the only thing I would like to have added is some clear driving tours. But with the maps and lookout points featured, this should be something to be easy to figure out and plan. This is a 2010 edition.

This review is from: Grand Canyon Guide: Your Complete Guide to the Grand Canyon (Kindle Edition)
My husband and I traveled to the Grand Canyon in May for vacation. It was our first time visiting the Grand Canyon and our first time hiking to such an extent as well. This book is an excellent resource as to transportation, directions, hotels, parks, hiking, and excursions. We were able to see many things we would not have known existed had it not been for this book. It gives great advice on weather, safety, and costs. It is a very relevant book!

Bruce Grubbs
Bruce Grubbs has been hiking, backpacking, and cross-country skiing throughout the American West for more than 40 years. He participated in the technical first ascents of the last major summits to be climbed in the Grand Canyon, including Buddha Temple, Holy Grail Temple, the striking pinnacle at Comanche Point, Malgosa Crest, and Kwagunt Butte. Bruce has spent more than 400 days hiking in the Grand Canyon. He continues to enjoy long backpacking treks in the more remote sections of the Grand Canyon, as well as hiking and backpacking trips elsewhere in the American West.

Outdoor writing and photography have long been serious interests of Bruce's. His first published article was in a local Arizona outdoor magazine 35 years ago, and he has since been published by Backpacker Magazine and several regional publications. About 20 years ago, his writing focus expanded to include books, with the publication of Hiking Arizona with Stewart Aitchison. He has since written twenty four more published books.

Earlier, Bruce worked eleven seasons as a wildland fire fighter for the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. His positions included fire lookout, engine foreman, helitack foreman, and fire station manager.
He was part owner of an outdoor shop for eight years, selling hiking, backpacking, climbing, and skiing gear. He started and continues to run a successful computer consulting business, offering personal computer support and website design to individual clients and small businesses.

Bruce has been a professional pilot for more than twenty years, and holds an Airline Transport Pilot certificate with multiengine rating. He also holds a Flight Instructor certificate with instrument rating. Currently, he is an active, part-time air charter pilot with more than 7,000 hours of flight time.

Other interests include Amateur Radio, where he served for several years as the Amateur Radio Emergency Coordinator for Coconino County, Arizona. He also is a mountain biker, sea kayaker, and figure skater. He is currently the president of the Flagstaff Figure Skating Club, where he recently helped the club host its first skating competition. He is also the webmaster for the club.
