One of the world's most spectacular places, the Grand Canyon
annually attracts over 4 million visitors who peer over the edge of
the abyss. A smaller number of them trek from the rim to the banks
of the Colorado River on one of the nation's best-known hikes. Many
of these hikers are inadequately prepared for the rigors of what
can be a deadly journey. This indispensable guide describes the
most popular route into the canyon -- the 16.2 mile round-trip
route from the South Rim to the Colorado River. It addresses the
many possible hazards (extreme heat, cold, elevation gain/loss of
over 9,000 feet), gives advice on physical conditioning, and
includes helpful charts, maps, and GPS waypoints for the best rest
points. The hike itself is covered mile by mile, with expert
coaching and hints along the way. Experienced and novice hikers
alike will benefit from its encouraging, can-do approach.
