Book excerpt: More than four million people visit the Grand Canyon National Park every year, but most visitors choose not to stray beyond the heavily visited trails or to venture below the Canyon's rims. The rim trails and the routes to the inner canyon offer solitude and expose beauty vastly different from what can be seeing from the developed areas of the Rims. This edition of the Official Guide to Hiking Grand Canyon provides an overview of all the park's major trails, with notations about difficulty levels, conditions, water sources, distances from point to point and elevation gain and losses.

Download or read book Best Summit Hikes in Colorado written by James Dziezynski and published by Wilderness Press. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorado has 53 14ers, more than 600 13ers, and hundreds of other peaks that can be reached without special equipment or expertise. Numerous guides dryly catalog these trails, but Best Summit Hikes in Colorado stands out from them all. Author James Dziezynski has meticulously selected 80+ of the state's absolute best peaks in more than 50 superlative hikes, and his opinionated narrative brings each route to life. Each summit is included because of a notable feature--whether it's the site of a ghost mine or airplane wreckage, has thundering waterfalls or colorful floral meadows, is the best summit for spotting wildlife or bringing out-of-town friends, or is very accessible. Some peaks offer unique opportunities, such as a trailhead accessible only via a steam-powered railroad. Several summits are described in no other publication. Covering all Colorado's major mountain ranges, including the well-known Sangre De Cristo, Gore, Sawatch, Indian Peaks, and Maroon Bell wilderness areas to the lesser-known Grenadiers, Medicine Bow, and Outer San Juan peaks, this distinctive guide makes it easy to select exactly the right hike for the right day, the right mood, and the right companions.

Download or read book Grand Canyon written by Richard Holtzin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: From the rim to the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon is analogous to a time machine that begins about 250 million years ago and ends close to the two-billion-year benchmark. Thus, hiking down the South Rim's popular Bright Angel Trail to the bottom of the canyon (ten miles), each step averages 2,000 years! All the relevant subject matter is explained in this factual, educational text--geology, and the particulars of how and when the Grand Canyon became a Natural Wonder, flora and fauna, prehistoric to contemporary human history, popular hiking trails, Colorado River ecology, things to do and see in the village, an abstract of the Colorado Plateau Province, of which the Grand Canyon is dubbed its crowning jewel, and other subject matter. Utilizing the Grand Canyon Village's timeline trail along a marked walkway to the east of the village, the text presents common details in an uncommon way. Specifically, a demotic style of writing that changes the academics of geoscience and natural and human history into casual parlance. The narrative, therefore, feigns a guided tour, only in a literary style while explaining the canyon's many facets of information without sermonizing. Moreover, the topics discussed along the way are presented at select vistas that break up the subject matter. This way, the reader is not overwhelmed with too much information at any vista. Given this layout and piecemeal presentation of facts and details, the text is a reader-friendly composition that engages and enlightens readers. The account of what there is to see and know beyond the scenery has also been exhaustively researched for accuracy, using a National Park Service heuristic teaching standard, as based on an interpretive explanation. Thus, the how-what-where-when and why factors. As a retired educator and instructor for the likes of the Grand Canyon Field Institute, most of what I did for a living for some forty years entailed teaching various geosciences, natural and human history; also environmental sciences, published writer, and mathematics.

Download or read book Steel on Stone written by Nathaniel Farrell Brodie and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grand Canyon National Park has been called many things, but home isn't often one of them. Yet after years of traveling the globe, Nathaniel Brodie found his home there. Steel on Stone is Brodie's account of living in the canyon during the eight years he worked on a National Park Service trail crew, navigating a vast and unforgiving land. Embedded alongside Brodie and his crew, readers experience precipitous climbs to build trails, dangerous search-and-rescue missions, rockslides, spelunking expeditions, and rafting trips through the canyon on the Colorado River. From Brodie's chronicles of tracking cougars and dodging rampaging pack mules to adjusting to seasons spanning triple-digit heat and inaccessibility during the winter, we learn about the life cycle of this iconic park, whose complex ecosystems coexist with humans, each one seeking a deeply personal experience, and the subcultures and hierarchies that form deep within the canyon. Following in the steps of naturalists like John Wesley Powell and Edward Abbey, Brodie reveals the park’s nearly two million square miles. He deftly weaves histories and tall tales from canyon aficionados living and dead into his own story. Over time he comes to realize that home is not always a place on a map but instead is deeply defined by the people we encounter, including those who finally call us to move on. Steel on Stone is a love letter to the Grand Canyon and those who have given years of their lives to work its trails so that we may understand and enjoy it today as the transformative landscape we seek.
