“Muller’s poetic eye and a sturdy, rational recounting offer a very human experience in a vast and nearly incomprehensible landscape.”—Craig Childs, author of House of Rain: Tracking a Vanished Civilization across the American Southwest and Grand Canyon: Time below the Rim

There is the Grand Canyon as seen from one of the rims. Spectacular. Awe-inspiring. Dramatic. And there is the Grand Canyon below the rims, a very different place steeped in wilderness, bus-sized boulders, tumbling streams, knee-shredding switchbacks and the mighty Colorado River. The Corridor Trails—the Bright Angel, the South Kaibab, the River and the North Kaibab—are the most popular in Grand Canyon National Park, attracting more than 80,000 permitted overnight backpackers annually, as well as an untold number of day hikers and mule riders. Join author Seth Muller on a grand adventure, searching for the Grand Canyon’s soul along miles of inner-canyon trails. Muller profiles rangers, artists, volunteers, hikers, ultra-marathoners, mule skinners and others who regularly experience the Grand Canyon, presenting the Corridor Trails in intimate, creative prose that will carry the reader to the depths of the canyon and back out again.

“Muller’s thoughtful prose captures the awesome diversity and unique encounters that populate corridor trails in Grand Canyon National Park.”—Annette McGivney, Southwest Editor, Backpacker magazine

“In Seth Muller’s book Canyon Crossing, the experienced Grand Canyon hiker will find enjoyable reading and the familiarity of shared experiences. Those who have not hiked in the canyon in for a treat.”—Joe Alston, Superintendent (ret.), Grand Canyon National Park
