The Official Guide to Grand Canyon's North Rim

Just ten miles across the abyss from the busy South Rim, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is a world unto itself. Those who make their way here are rewarded with dramatic views, a sublime terrain, and a rare degree of solitude.

From trails and viewpoints to where to stay and what to look for — in this book, you will find everything you need to know to get the most from your visit. Naturalist and long-time canyon hiker Stewart Aitchison shares stories of the plant and animal communities, geologic forces, and human history that set this place apart. And the stories do not stop at the park boundary, they stretch across the broad Arizona Strip, providing insights into the many wonders of this little-known land.

The inside front includes a map of day hikes, and the inside back cover includes a highway map showing the roads as one approaches the North Rim.

Grand Canyon Conservancy is the official nonprofit partner of Grand Canyon National Park.
