  • Extremely interesting read!

    As I gazed down into the beautiful canyon, a thought crossed my mind. "I wonder how many people have accidently fallen into the canyon from up here?" Later that night I starting looking for answers on the internet and found out this book existed. While the subject matter is a bit morbid, I love the way the authors describe the canyon and explain where and why the events happened. Some of the stories are extremely bizarre but told very well. Its a long read but well worth it. I find it concerning that so many people have no thought of what they may be doing to others by jumping or driving vehicles off into the canyon. What if someone was down below? During our recent visit we watched as kids threw rocks down into the canyon. We told them to stop and got death stares from their parents. Unfortunately, my overall view of humankind dwindles every day it seems but the beauty of nature keeps me grounded. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

  • A book to keep

    I read this book twice several years ago and found it fascinating, then passed it on to my sister. When I saw an updated version was printed I just had to have it, and this time I won't be passing it on; this is a book I want to keep. Great stories and also as a reference use. I live near the Grand Canyon and it seems every couple weeks the local paper has a story on people missing or killed there or a body found there. I hope it gets updated again.

  • Into the Canyon

    Very interesting read. Individual stories that are featured in the book are quite compelling. Some of the tragedies that are written about seem so easily avoidable if people exercised simple common sense. Only criticism is that the book makes the Grand Canyon seem like a "death trap" that should be avoided at all costs. Already told my 20 year old son not to go there as he will end up at the bottom of the Canyon for sure!

  • 5, out of 5 Stars!

    This book will surely hold your interest. *Warning: Do not read just before bedtime! Additionally, I was very happy to find that a Tenth Anniversary Edition had been released, and with added stories! I loaned (gave away) my original copy, but found that I wanted to read it again.
