The Little Book of the Grand Canyon: A Breath-Taking Experience

A mile deep. 277-miles long. 18 miles wide. The Grand Canyon isn't just spectacular in terms of its size, scale and iconic stature - though it is MASSIVE - its also huge in terms of its popularity, remaining in the U.S.'s Top Five all-natural tourist hotspots. Located in Arizona, the Canyon was carved by the Colorado River 70 million years ago. Today, it's the whole world's most famous hole, where the view up is as impressive, and frightening, as the view looking down.

The Little Book of the Grand Canyon condenses the beauty of this behemoth into the palm of your hand, squeezing it down to its essential facts, stats, quotes, notes, icons and origins, a compact compendium of canyon-based grandiosity. Put simply, it's everything you need to know before you go.

'The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself.'
John Wesley Powell

'You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.'
Evel Knievel
