 Hiking
the Grand Canyon
The Corridor Trails
by Ken McNamara and Rob
Kleine This video
combines on the trail footage and computer generated animations that will
assist a hiker or visitor in orienting to the canyon before arriving. For
those flying over the canyon the animations will help identify the sights
you may see from the air. It is also a great way to show friends and
relatives the canyon from a hiker's point of view. Whether you are coming
to hike or visit the canyon rim, you will gain a better sense of understanding
the sights you may see at the Grand Canyon. "I've
been using it to show my friends the canyon from my point of view."
