A fun little book with curios, tidbits, stories, and lives that are all things Grand Canyon. A good book to enjoy while resting between hikes.

The Incredible Grand Canyon is a slim volume of quirky stories about events that took place in New York City ...... er ...... no, I meant in the Grand Canyon (of course).

It's very light on substance, but the stories are fun and illustrated with nice photos.

In 1967 Disney made a film called Brighty of the Grand Canyon about a well known mule who made his home in the canyon. It's a shame Disney deviated from the true story since it would have made a great ending (the real Brighty was eaten by outlaws when they became trapped in a cabin by deep snows). Yum!!

Fun little book full of very short stories of odd people and happenings in the Grand Canyon. I will send this to my grandsons prior to our hiking trip there in May. Recommended for anyone heading to the Canyon,
