Grand Canyon Wild: A Photographic Journey

by John Annerino

Go deeper into the Grand Canyon, beyond its rims, by taking an expedition to the most remote, beautiful, and rarely seen vistas in North America.
Grand Canyon Wild takes you beyond the handful of scenic vistas which have defined the popular concept of the Grand Canyon. A well-known author and photographer of the American West and Old Mexico and other coffee table books, Annerino takes you on a visual and spiritual journey down into the land below the canyon's rims. His photos and prose lead into the heart and soul of the canyon, highlighting the historic expeditions, colorful history, and legends of Native Americans and explorers alike, who bravely lived and died, within the canyon's realm.

This photographer is an avid outdoorsman, who tells the stories of the Grand Canyon through the tales of past explorers who have faced the "Great Unknown" of the canyon. The pictures are beautiful and the stories bring it all to life.
