In DAY HIKES FROM THE RIVER SECOND EDITION, author, hiker and river runner Tom Martin offers river runners through Grand Canyon National Park a new text on exploring Grand Canyon National Park from the Colorado River. There are 100 hikes in the book, up from 75 in the first edition. Besides a description of each hike, the text includes the best camps to stage the hike from. Information on winter and summer sun exposure, along with pertinent pull-in information is also provided where needed. Each hike description includes images from USGS topo maps with the hike clearly marked on the map. This book is for the river runner who wants to increase their options for activities and gain a greater appreciation of what rafting in Grand Canyon has to offer, besides running great whitewater. This guide identifies many camps that are not listed in any other guidebook.
