Grand: The Colorado River in the Grand Canyon a Photo Journey [Paperback]

Steve Miller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2005

The Grand: The Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, a Photo Journey follows the river from Lees Ferry to Mile 236 with more than 300 spectacular color pictures and expert commentary. Of the millions of people that visit the Grand Canyon every year, only a handful of them leave the rim and actually get to experience the river and inside of the canyon up close. Photographer Steve Miller presents the Canyon from the unique perspective that only a rafter can, leading you on a mile-by-mile journey to see and learn about the geologic formations, wildlife (including rafters!), flora, trailside views, and, of course, the moods of the water, sky, and the canyon walls.

This is a book I highly recommend to all my friends who are contemplating a trip down the Colorado in the Grand Canyon. After spending two weeks on a raft trip in the Grand Canyon, this is one of the best guides I have seen about the trip, complete with pictures.
