Description
A guide to place names along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon from Lake Powell to Lake Mead.
“River to Rim” tells the stories of rapids, temples, and points in the Grand Canyon: who named what and when, quotations from explorers, names given by tourists and river runners, and the events that gave rise to the place names. Whether you are viewing the scenery from the rim, running the river, or hiking the trails, here are the stories of over 600 place names along 300 miles of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon on a mile-by-mile sequence. The Grand Canyon rock layers are outlines and tell the deep time stories of the canyon’s geological history and and their creation. Names are indexed and tied to a bibliography of over 280 entries.

Exceedingly well researched book for those interested in the history, places, and people of the Grand Canyon! This was fun to have as a reference on my rafting trip down the Grand Canyon to learn the history about where we were. Great book!
