If you want to reflect back on a trip you made to the Grand Canyon, one of the eight natural wonders of the world, or you just want to imagine one, this app will take you there.
With proceeds benefiting the Grand Canyon Association, this Grand Canyon app follows the author, friends and guides as they:
- hike down Bright Angel Trail;
- raft one hundred miles down the Colorado River;
- hike the so-called “Death March” hike to Thunder River and Surprise Valley;
- visit Havasu;
- brave Lava Falls (and live to tell about it);
- helicopter out from Whitemore Wash.
Containing hi-definition videos, hundreds of photos, maps and the story of the journey, this multimedia application will be sure to remind you of your own trip to the Grand Canyon…or increase your desire to visit.
The Grand Canyon app supports simple navigation, that most users of tablets and smartphones should be familiar with:

This app is built on the Baker eBook framework for enhanced eBooks, using the Laker starter pack. Baker is an HTML5 eBook framework to publish interactive books on iPad and iPhone using simply open web standards. The gents that put this together did an excellent job, and contine to enhance the framework.
Laker is the brainchild of Florian Franke. It combines the Baker Framework with the LESS CSS Framework, and includes some additional features.
