If you have ever stood at a Grand Canyon overlook and wondered which buttes you are looking at, the name of the trail that snakes far below, or what the Colorado River looks like close-up, your curiosity will be satiated by the spectacular photographs and reader-friendly narrative of Grand Canyon: Views beyond the Beauty.
This book includes more than 100 photographs of views from overlooks and of the inner-canyon sites. Covers twenty North and South rim overlooks, including Grand Canyon Village, Yavapai Point, Mather Point, Desert View, and Bright Angel Point. It features facts about dozens of inner-canyon rock formation. It discusses the geology, human history, prehistory, ecology, and weather patterns of one of the seven wonders of the world.
