"The Rough Guide to the Grand Canyon" covers the whole of this awe-inspiring region, which stretches over 250 miles along each side of the Colorado River. Its discriminating approach should help to ensure that the reader gets the most out of their trip. Day-hikes within the National Park are highlighted, as are attractions along the north and south rims of the canyon and beyond the park itself. Walking routes are supported by detailed full-colour maps, which are cross-referenced within the guide.
