Customer Reviews

GOod overview

This job does a nice job of detailing the pro's and con's of various accomodations and restaurants within the park, detailing the various ways of touring the park (by airplane, helicopter, hiking group or tour, rafting, donkeys, etc.) and suggesting hikes for those who are very fit and those of us who are less so. It deals equally well with all parts of the Grand Canyon from the North to the South Rim, and suggests nice daytrips from a variety of points within the park. It even gives good suggestions regarding the best times to visit, and how to take full advantage of the shuttle buses in the park, the best places to park ,and the best driving routes to avoid congestion. First rate!

Great Guide

This guidebook has everything: maps, hotels and categories for everything a traveler needs. Unfortunately these guides no longer have titles like "The Grand Canyon on $5 a day."

awesome guide

Perfect guide. Great reccomendations. I spent 6 days on both the north and south rims( I thought the north rim was so much better) and the book was helpful for both. it also contains info on places in northern Arizona. There is plenty of info, it is very detailed and descriptive. The size is small and can fit in a bag or a pocket. Great choice!!

The best guide to the Grand Canyon

Wow this book was great! We recently used the book as our resource during our visit to the canyon. A few price listings were slightly off (by $1-$3) but this book gave us more information than anything available at the park. The information on different viewpoints (geographical points on the rim of the canyon) was wonderful and we knew more than anyone around us about what we were seeing. The restaurant information was right on the nose, and the wildlife information was so accurate that by following the books information we were able to see and photograph a bighorn sheep! This is the only guidebook you need to visit the Grand Canyon.

Excellent and Concise Guide to the Grand Canyon

This guide provides all the information that you will need for an initial visit to the grand canyon. Both the North and South Rims are covered in some detail and although someone seeking a back-county guide may be disappointed, the average visitor should find more than enough material to plan and enjoy their visit.
