Grand Canyon Treks : 12,000 Miles Through the Grand Canyon
Butchart's book is the only reference to about half the routes talked about in the book! Having hiked several of the routes in the book, I've found the descriptions to give just enough information to get you going in the right direction without taking away the adventure of it all by telling you every detail that you will experience. A must for Canyon hikers.
