Rating: Summary: The Grand Canyon video for Hikers! Review: The video hikers have been waiting for has finally arrived. Computer animations lead you through the corridor trails. The Bright Angel, North and South Kaibab trails are covered in full. These rim to river trails can be extremely dangerous even for an experienced hiker. As webmaster of HikeArizona.COM, which focuses on day hiking, I've avoided these longer trails in the past. Having viewed the video I feel more prepared and confident in tackling a trip down to the river.Important information about pace and hydration make this video valuable. Additional general information about preparing for the worst may save your life. Profiles of the canyon's layers have boggled my mind in the past. You can read all you want but the visual presentation makes more sense. All the above plus trail specific information make this a great video. Ironically few videos cover this beautiful canyon. I'm pleased to highly recommend, "Hiking the Grand Canyon" - the corridor trails. Let's hope the future holds a second video highlighting other canyon trails. - joe

It provides basic information about the canyon, its geography, its weather and its dangers. Everything is presented in very understandable language with plenty of computer graphics and video images. If you have never hiked the canyon, this tells you how to go about it with lots of helpful hints, useful tips and precautions. It includes detailed descriptions of the three main trails. If you are an experienced hiker already familiar with the Grand Canyon who wishes to explore the less familiar, this video may be a bit basic for you. Then again, you might just learn some new things from it.

Rating: Summary: Accurate video, but not what I was wanting Review: This video, while very detailed and full of accurate information just wasn't what I was looking for. The South Kaibab and the Bright Angel trails kicked my tail ... I was looking for something that would show what I felt when I hiked them. I will hike them again. I don't want to die knowing I got whipped that bad by those two trails.
