 Excellent Grand Canyon Hiking Guide! Aug 08, 2006
By Robert W. Audretsch
"bob1941"
I have been hiking Grand Canyon since 1977 with over 9,900 miles below the rim and have hiked all the trails in this guide, in most cases multiple times. This guide has the most detailed descriptions of all canyon hiking guides; maps are more than adequate; nearly all information is up to date. Adkison's writing style is very clear. I especially appreciate his information about plant communities along the routes. This second edition is largely the same as the earlier edition. I am glad to see the addition of a section on cairns. How can this book be improved? Add an index. Looking through the guide I only found a few errors --- Western Union is no longer available inside the park and the Tanner Trail one way distance is not 7 miles but more like 10 miles!

The Best Grand Canyon Trail Book That I've Found Jul 28, 2007
By Robert Summers
I'm planning a backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon. I've looked at several guidebooks and I've bought bought this book as well as Hiking Grand Canyon National Park, 2nd (Regional Hiking Series) by John Annerino, and Hiking the Grand Canyon's Geology (Hiking Geology) (HTGCG) by Lon Abbott and Teri Cook.
I liked the straightforward and informative approach that Ron Adkinson takes in this book. The Grand Canyon is a big place with a lot of alternatives for trips. I was able figure out which trails I want to take using this book.
I especially like the capsule summary of each route that have clear ratings for the difficulty, water availability, average hiking times, suggested cache points, and distance.
Compared to this book, I found the HTGCG by Lon Abbott and Teri Cook nearly as good but the focus on the geology in HTGCG makes it harder to pull out the hiking information. Though, once your route is chosen, HTGCG, helps you understand what you see.

very good book Mar 03, 2007
By Sitabai
I reviewed several other hiking books on the Grand Canyon and read the trail guides for my selected and reserved trail. This book was the best written and most complete. I would generally say that this book might be the best bet for a good hiking volume for the GC.

Informative & Educational - Grand Canyon Hikes Jun 03, 2010
By Dave Hopkins
Great overview of hiking trails in the Grand Canyon, which makes trip planning very productive! Great overview that covers trailhead locations, hiking distances, elevation gain/loss, difficulty rating, general maps (still need detailed topo maps), water availability, landmarks, scenic highlights, etc. Great value!

Excellent Choice for serious Backpackers Apr 07, 2009
By Bernhard Grieser
I highly recommend this book to every backpacker, who likes to spend more than 4 days of strenuous trekking in the Grand Canyon. It's full of details about how to prepare yourself for such a trip, in case you never did anything alike. For me it was the right choice, because it provides a perfectly described list of trails.
Although the book does give you maps for each trail, I'd additionally buy a map of at least 1:40'000, too.
