5.0 out of 5 stars Serious Canyon Guide, January 1, 2000
By Clark B. Hinckley (Salt Lake City, Utah) - See all my reviews
George Steck's Loop Hikes I & II contain detailed guides some obscure and long trips. Steck is the best source for information on long (4 - 10) hikes, especially on the North Rim. Information is detailed and useful, sufficient for planning a trip.

Steck's introudctions are worth the price of the books, particularly his narrative on dealing with the infamous Grand Canyon mice ("Mice 513, Steck 0").

Loop Hikes I covers four routes, ranging in length from 6 to 9 days. These hikes can be done in less time if you are willing to push. Shorter variations are also possible. This book includes the now popular Cranberry Canyon route to Deer Creek and Thunder River, a great introductory route for off-trail hiking.

Loop Hikes II covers five more routes with a number of variations and suggestions, and has an introduction by photographer and Steck hiking companion Gary Ladd. It also contains updated information on GHLH I routes.

These are comprehensive books for serious hikers and are fully self-contained -- a hiker new to the Canyon would find all the information needed here without consulting other guides (although gathering as much info as possible is always recommended).

5.0 out of 5 stars Combines Practical Information With Superb Storytelling And Humor, January 17, 2009
By Aung Htun "www.amazon.com/shops/ahtun" (1022 1/2 Stophlet St. Fort Wayne IN 46802-4318) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"George Steck's intimate familiarity with the Grand Canyon Outback resonates in his detailed descriptions of six off-trail loop hikes through remote wilderness.

He COMBINES PRACTICAL INFORMATION WITH SUPERB STORYTELLING AND HUMOR to create a worthy successor to his warmly received Grand Canyon Loop Hikes I, called "a model of readability and usefulness" by Backpacker Magazine."
