Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon: Gripping Accounts of All Known Fatal Mishaps in the Most Famous of the World's Seven Natural Wonders
Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon: Gripping Accounts of All Known Fatal Mishaps in the Most Famous of the World's Seven Natural Wonders by Michael P. Ghiglieri

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Fascinating, but poorly edited. I saw a copy of this book in a shop at Grand Canyon and thought it looked interesting. Indeed, it was. In addition to descriptions of deaths in the canyon, the authors have also included a few survival stories. I particularly enjoyed the odd tales in the chapter on freak accidents. Unfortunately, it is not that well organized and riddled with typos.

Would be an instructive read for those planning trips into Grand Canyon.
