Hiking the Grand Canyon's Geology

By: Lon Abbott & Terri Cook

Something for everyone! This guide not only includes information about gentle, half day rim walks and popular rim-to-river trails, but also includes information discussing rugged and remote multi-day backpack trips, for the more extreme hiker.

Etched on the Grand Canyon's steep walls are stories of how this majestic landscape came to be: stories of volcanic islands, stark deserts, tranquil seas come and gone, and ancient plants and animals that made this place their home. You'll read the rock up close on the trail with the help of Hiking the Grand Canyon's Geology.
