About the Author
CHARLES BOWDEN: The author of more than 20 non-fiction books, he is a winner of the Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction. Of one of Bowden s books, Frog Mountain Blues, New York Times book reviewer Emerson Trout wrote: "His prose trembles with a raw and vital energy that I find missing from much of the current writing about the vital questions of wildness and wilderness." Bowden lives in Tucson.
WAYNE RANNEY: A geologist, author and guide, he strives to share his appreciation of the earth and its geologic history with anyone who is curious about landscapes and how they might have formed. In 2000, he participated in the Symposium on the Origin of the Colorado River that included more than 70 geologists. His book, Carving Grand Canyon, won the Glyph Award in the Best Science category from the Arizona Book Publishing Association and honorable mention from the National Outdoor Book Awards. Ranney lives in Flagstaff.

Customer Reviews

This is a beautiful book.
The pictures are gorgeous and the diagrams showing a "you are here" perspective are informative and appreciated.

Pictures and stories of my favorite canyon
We fell in love with the grand canyon during a visit there in 03. This coffee table book gives a good general look at the canyon and all the various places to enjoy it from the rim. The pictures are excellent as art, but few are awesome. The prose is interesting and helpful.
