Fran's Backpack - 20th January 2011


Fran's Backpack brings to you various products on travel, adventure, flying and photography.

They could be books, ebooks, videos, or gear. Check each one out as it's highlighted on the day.


Today's item in the Backpack is Hiking Grand Canyon National Park, 2nd [Kindle Edition] for $9.59.







I've visited both the North and South Rims of the Grand Canyon National Park and walked some of the trails. To really enjoy the park, you need to spend time hiking. With this kindle edition you can put it on the kindle reader and keep it handy in the backpack.

This comprehensive guide features detailed descriptions all of the park's developed trails, which number fifteen hikes on the South Rim and thirteen hikes on the North Rim.
