This Book Made A Pleasing Gift
This purchase was for my wife who is about to go on a 3 day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon and was curious about what she was going to see along the way. She loved the information the book provides. So, two thumbs up.

Great addition
I bought this book to use with the novels Downriver and River Thunder that I read with my classroom. This works great in finding info. about the canyon and the rapids that the novel characters are going through.

Good for Grand Canyon raft passengers
This book is good for Grand Canyon rafting passengers, but it does not replace some of the better guide books for rowing the river.

We took this book along with the Rivermaps LLC guide book for our 21 day private trip. While this book has some good trivia type information about the river, a good wild life and plant section, and a good geologic section, it is no match for the Rivermaps LLC as a river runners book. It simply lacks critical information and detail about rapids.

For the raft passenger on a commercial trip I would recommend this book so you can follow along where you are and know whats coming up, and look up any plants or wildlife you see. Its also great to have river books like these to make notes in about where you camped, where you had a good hike, or even where you had a nice lunch. However if you are planning on rowing the river on a private trip this is no replacement for the Rivermaps LLC book.

A "must have" for Colorado river rafters!
This book is, or should be, required reading before and during a trip through the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River. It is absolutely chock full of information, pictures, and tips on making the trip incredible. It should be read before the trip, in the morning to review the day's planned river section, in the evening to recap the day's trip, and as a daily log (with a waterproof marker) for a keepsake. This book is outstanding, and almost as important as dry clothes in making the trip pleasurable.

Grand Canyon whitewater rrafting
This is the perfect book of maps and descriptions of the rock formations to be seen in the Grand Canyon's Colorado River!!
