A review from Denise Traver of Hit the Trail.com. "Having been both a backcountry ranger and a field guide for years at the Grand Canyon, I have always been trying to help hikers at the Canyon to hike safely and enjoy their trip at the same time.Since 1998, I have maintained a website to assist people in hiking safely in this rugged, desert environment. I have seen a few videos that try to cover backpacking here, but this is the first video I have seen that I truly feel covers all three of the main Corridor trails (Bright Angel, South Kaibab and the North Kaibab) in such wonderful detail and in such beautiful visual quality besides. The information here will help people who plan on hiking at all times of the year. This video is very well thought out and will be extremely helpful for those coming from out of state in planning just getting to the park, which is no easy feat in itself. Then getting a permit is discussed in great detail--even down to filling out the form and when precisely to send it in. This is invaluable information! Campsites, toilets, water faucets, resthouses--all kinds of features that will make your life on the trail more pleasant and easier to plan are discussed. And with the beautiful cinematography, you'll actually enjoy watching it as you're learning! Highly recommended!"
