About the Book

This complete guidebook covers the spectacular and most recent addition to the U.S. park system. It covers the park's geologic history and also reviews the human history of the valley, from the Indians and first western explorers to the prospectors, miners and present-day visitors. Contains short walks, day hikes, backpacking trips, and numerous descriptive road logs that lead explorers into the wilderness backcountry of mines, ghost towns, cactus gardens, incredible scenic vistas, and desert mysteries.
