In an informational yet highly informative manner, Seymour Fishbein covers everything there is to know about the Grand Canyon - both the National Park itself and the surrounding country. He describes in detail the viewpoints along the popular South Rim and walks the trails below the rim, pointing out geological wonders, remnants of the ancient Indian cultures, and much more. The higher, cooler and more eroded North Rim is also explored with Fishbein's eye-witness account supplemented by stories about or interviews with the hunters, ranchers, and others who have eked out a living there. His trip down the Colorado is a moment-by-moment ride through wayside canyons, serene pools, and along tumultuous rapids. Photographs capture the park during all seasons of the year as well as many species of plant and animal life.
