5.0 out of 5 stars Grand Canyon Private River Trip Guide Book, November 6, 2000

By	James A Michaud (Vernon, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This is THE book to have for anyone taking a private river trip through the Grand Canyon. It's the only guide book that shows all of the camp sites and their relative size. It also rates the difficulty of all of the rapids. There should be one on every raft.

For those quiet moments in camp the book contains a lot of information about the history and geology of the Grand Canyon as well as a lot of other information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Time to revise this!, July 18, 2003

By	Maile N. Field (Kelseyville, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I just returned from an 18-day private trip and found the "Blue Bible" worth packing in my day box for the whole trip. However, some storms have come through and many of the rapids are now misclassified. Anyone with a moderate interest in life around them should tote the latest version of this book along with them down the canyon; I was able to ID snakes, bugs and landmarks. But find a companion who has run the river more recently than Larry to tell you whether to scout the next rapid.

P.S. Hey Larry, if you need some help...
