From river rafting to scenic fly-overs, the Grand Canyon offers a plethora of potential activities--but without careful planning, a trip to this much-visited national park can be overwhelming. This guide divides the attractions into sections--the North Rim, South Rim, Colorado River, and Havasu Falls--with lodging, dining, and camping information given for each. Outfitters for hiking, backpacking, mule rides, and rafting adventures are listed, and carefully researched chapters about the park's history, geology, and wildlife encourage leisurely study of the area's unmatched natural beauty. This book is the winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award for best full-color travel guide and the Independent Publisher Award for best travel guide. About "The Complete Guides" With a large number of beautiful, high-quality color photographs, these guides are as browsable as the best coffee table books but also supply travelers with maps, travel tips, and extensive listings for lodging, camping, and sightseeing.
