There really is too much hiking expected at the grand canyon. Are you really expected to hike to the bottom? Can't they built an escalator or some kind of teleportation device? Or at least make those airplane tours available to everyone! I had always heard so many great things about the grand canyon, but I never imagined that if I wanted more than taking pictures at the rim, physical exertion might be involved. Just take some pictures then split to go to Vegas. [and yeah I'm being ironic... if we wanna pan books, maybe we should recommend an alternative, else maybe we got in too deep...]

I bought this book before a family trip to the Grand Canyon. I thought I had looked around enough at different guide books but I was wrong. This book is fine if your Canyon trip is 100% hiking. Otherwise it is a bit thin and very dry. Not too helpful over all.

There must be something better.
