Reviews

[DCB · Rating 5 out of 5]

*I read this book, I did not listen to the audio book. But the print version of the 3rd edition released in 2024 is not on Goodreads*

I picked this book up at Hermit's Rest when I visited Grand Canyon for the first time this past Memorial Day. Myers and Ghiglieri have ample experience at the NP and their knowledge of GCNP really show throughout the book. While overall a morbid subject, it is important to hear about these stories. As they mention in their book, hopefully it also helps people avoid series trouble in the future
