Big Earth Publishing Southwest: General Guides ,

Investigate the remote northeast region of the Grand Canyon and Marble Canyon transition zone that the Southern Paiute called Nankoweap! -- "Canyon of Echoes!" By providing an in-depth history of the Nankoweap region and the ways to travel the canyon with zero to minimum impact, Grand Canyon Nankoweap: Hiking the Notorious Horsethief Trail is researched and written in accord with the National Park Service's mandate in mind and the Grand Canyon Association's mission of "inspire, educate, protect." Grand Canyon Nankoweap: Hiking the Notorious Horsethief Trail is a step-by-step pathfinder that guides the hiker along the primary route to the Colorado River. The Nankoweap Trail is the most difficult of the named routes in Grand Canyon. It all starts with choosing one of three possible trailheads in which to make the canyon's approach through the Kaibab National Forest that abuts the Grand Canyon National Park. On the way to and on the trail, the hiker will make astonishing discoveries because Grand Canyon Nankoweap: Hiking the Notorious Horsethief Trail prepares the hiker not only for the trail itself, but also empowers the reader with the rich Native American and Old West history that validates the Nankoweap Trail. The gripping history includes the surrounding kinship region of the House Rock Valley and the North Rim at, near, and below Point Imperial--the North Rim's highest developed view point at 8,803 feet-- from where the wispy Nankoweap Trail is not visible to the candid eye. While region specific, Grand Canyon Nankoweap: Hiking the Notorious Horsethief Trail can multitask as a complete and smart preparation guide for all other trails and routes leading from both the North and the South Rims to Grand Canyon's remote Inner Canyon settings and "Main Corridor" such as the combined Bright Angel and River Trails and the North and South Kaibab Trails.
