Summary: Field Guide to Grand Canyon
Comment: Useful guide for visitors who are hiking, but limited use for river runners.
Customer Rating:
Summary: nice intro to canyon flora and fauna
Comment: This book was a nice introduction to the geology, plant and animal life of the grand canyon. It is small enough to take in your pack and is fun to read once you've arrived at camp and try to identify the plants, animals and strata you saw. Not too much specific information about any one species, strata, etc., but good general intros to flora, cacti, etc. I'd recommend it if it's your first hike in the canyon and you're just looking for a simple book to become familiar with the names of thing. You can find it in the gift shops on both rims too.
Customer Rating:
Summary: best available guide to plants and wildlife
Comment: Handy easy-to-use guide to birds, flowers, cacti, wildflowers, reptiles, mammals, geology of the grand canyon. Nothing like it anywhere.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Concise, and yet thorough
Comment: I agree with everything the previous reviewer said, except that I really like the overviews of Canyon geology and so on, and don't feel that those make to book too heavy to be useful as a field guide. This is probably the best and most informative guide for a hiker or visitor to the Grand Canyon to take along.
