Michael R. Kelsey

Kelsey Publishing (Utah), 2004

A rare guidebook

+ Hiking and Exploring the Paria River
+ Worth It's Weight!

This book is outstanding. I'm an avid canyoneer and these books got me started. Many think they're too good. I follow the canyoneering boards and people consistently complain that Kelsey gives away too much information and allows, "just anyone who buys the book" to get in the deepest, darkets ...

A very quick, easy read - ...

John Annerino

Sierra Club Books, 2006

ONE of the guides that works for the Grand Canyon

+ Hiking the Grand Canyon is an indispensible trail guide
+ Very Infomative

This guide seems to have excited a lot of controversy. And I can understand why. John Annerino's guide to the Grand Canyon is just as individualistic as all his other books. Mr. Annerino is a rough-and-ready writer, something of a non-fiction Jack Kerouac of the Southwest and the Borderlands. His ...
