Grand Canyon Association, revised 1996. 68 pp., quality paperback. If your time in the canyon is going to be spent exclusively on the Bright Angel Trail or nearby trails between the North and South rims, this is the map for you. It is a contour map the same large scale as the USGS maps, but is much more recent and is easier to read. A very attractive shaded relief map of the more popular areas of the park richly supplemented with full-color photos and information on recreation, geology, history, flora and fauna, archaeology and ethnology, weather, and more, all arranged in the excellent style National Geographic is famous for.
Supplementary booklet Includes fold-out regional map and tourist information.
An inexpensive pictorial map of the popularly visited areas ranging from Hermits Rest in the west, to Grandview Point in the east, and north to Bright Angel Point. The map shows a perspective view of the canyon's features, making it particularly readable by those less skilled at map reading. Published in cooperation with the Grand Canyon Natural History Association. This is the only recent recreation map I know of that gives extensive coverage of the park, including the narrow eastern strips along the Colorado River. All the other maps show only the more popular areas.
