Over the Edge
Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon | Thomas Myers, Michael Ghiglieri
1 post | 2 read
Two veterans of decades of adventuring in Grand Canyon chronicle the complete and comprehensive history of Canyon misadventures. These episodes span the entire era of visitation from the time of the first river exploration by John Wesley Powell and his crew of 1869 to that of tourists falling off its rims today. These accounts of the roughly 700 people who have met untimely deaths in the Canyon set a new high water mark for offering the most astounding array of adventures, misadventures, and life saving lessons published between any two covers. Over the Edge promises to be the most intense yet informative book on Grand Canyon ever written.

I‘ve hiked Grand Canyon to Phantom Ranch twice, rafted the Canyon and did a 6 day rim-2-rim-2-rim hike. In the back of my mind each time there lingered concerns that without care and preparation Grand Canyon could be dangerous. ‘Til reading this tome, I didn‘t realize how many people died there. This book will either scare you from getting close to the edge or encourage you to be prepared. Most deaths were due to lack of prep or overconfidence
