This guide is so good I threw out my other two!, August 15, 2007By Max
This review is from: Grand Canyon, The Complete Guide: Grand Canyon National Park (Paperback)
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.
Definitely the most up-to-date Grand Canyon book, August 15, 2007By J. LAMBERTO-EGAN "Windjammer22" (Emeryville, CA United States)

Great guide! I got this book after my husband and I used James Kaiser's Joshua Tree book for our anniversary vacation there and had an amazing trip. We had been to the Grand Canyon once years ago and paid $72 for a guided "geography hike." This time we just used this guidebook and got twice as much information. We did three of the lesser-known trails recommended in the book and found some incredible views away from the crowds. We ended up planning most of our week there based on the author's suggestions, and it was a perfect trip. If you're going to the park for any length of time, I recommend this book 100%!
