Well Eric I know from reading your posts over the years that you know what you’re doing so I’m going to recommend some “atmospheric” reading; to set the mood, you may or may not have come across.
<b>Harvey Butchart</b>Â wrote a series of books about exploring the Grand Canyon that are very interesting. You might want to google him. The books may be hard to find. Maybe that outdoor bookstore in I think Vermont?
Also Craig Childs wrote a book named: Grand Canyon: Time below the Rim
Neither of these is exactly a guide book but Butchart quite likely new the canyon better than anyone ever. I think he taught math at Northern Arizona in Flagstaff and explored the canyon with 3 dimensional mathematical thoroughness and precision. Craig Childs is a Southwestern wild country veteran and expert outdoorsman and also an Excellent writer. He has a story in another book and maybe the one cited above, about canyoneering down a slot somewhere I think between the Bill Hall Trail and Kanab Creek beyond or below Indian Hollow when he got caught beyond the point of no return by a thunderstorm and resulting flash flood that is an amazing tale.
Anyway have fun and Happy Trails!
