While millions gaze at its cliffs each year, only 15,000 float through the canyon on the Colorado River. A landmark portrait of the Grand Canyon, this is the only photography book to document this amazing journey from river level. Now this classic is back in print for the third time, with a new afterword by Kevin Fedarko, author of "The Emerald Mile" and dozens of new photographs. A journal in photos and words, "The Hidden Canyon" captures the desert landscape and the thrill of the rapids. Edward Abbey's journal filled with wry humor and respect for the canyon describes the journey as the dories (small wooden boats) alternately float and charge through the breathtaking landscapes and some of the roughest white water in North America.
