This book provides an overview of more than the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The South Rim portion lets you quickly orient yourself to the park and learn how to get where you want to go.

 

Discover the North Rim, the Cape Royal Road, and the Rainbow Rim.

This overview also introduces the tribes of the Grand Canyon including the People of the Blue Green Waters who live in a city below the rim.

Suggested Free and Fee accommodations are provided; from free camping to world class lodges. Simplified tips for the overlooks let you quickly find adventure.

Introductions to hiking, biking, mule rides, rafting and more are included.  Use this guide to orient yourself to sights you want to see in your limited time. You need a guide because much of the area is beyond cell service. 

This book tells you about the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. This is the most isolated and least visited part of the Grand Canyon. There’s much more to the Grand Canyon than the South Rim.

The book provides a more in-depth history of the earliest explorers and the geology of the area than commonly found on internet sites.
