The Perfect Guide

Out of all the Grand Canyon guides I bought, this one was my favorite. The color photos are amazing, and the background info about the canyon's history, geology and wildlife is fascinating. If you're going to Grand Canyon I would definitely recommend buying this book.

really helped me on my trip

I had been to the Grand Canyon once years ago. I went again recently, and this time I picked up this guide book before going. It was a huge difference for the trip as I was able to go to areas that I hadn't even heard about the first time I went. The pictures are great, but it was both the maps and the descriptions of the trails and sights that were the most helpful for my fiancee and I. It definitely added a lot to our vacation.

This guide is so good I threw out my other two!

I recently bought this guide along with two other guides for my trip to the Grand Canyon. This one was so good that I literally threw out my other two guides three days into my trip. (Actually I gave them away to other vacationers to reuse and recycle but terminology aside, I still ended up getting rid of them to lessen the load in my backpack because they were nowhere near as thorough as The Complete Guide). Other books can't compare to the glossy color photographs, maps, trail recommendations, park background, flora and fauna highlights to look for and most importantly the insider's tips provided in this guide. It actually felt like the other two guides that I bought for my trip (and to be nice I won't name names but they were from big travel book publishers) were written by people sitting behind a computer in an office who hadn't been to the Grand Canyon in years, while this guide reads like the author is sitting on a rock perched over the Colorado River sharing his insight to friends. I loved this guide and can't recommend it enough. Besides a good backpack, hiking shoes and some food, it's all that you need for a great trip to the Grand Canyon. Buy this one book, skip everything else that's out there, and you'll be all set.

great seller!!

The shipping was fast and the book was in excellent condition! Thank you

This is all you need

The Complete Guide to the Grand Canyon by Destination Press really covers all aspects of the Park. I found the guide very "useable" as it brings you through the trails easily. There is no confusion about how to hike the canyon. The photos are spectacular as is the writing. A must for either the serious hiker/trekker or the casual visitor.
