AZ - Rough Guide

Like Tripadvisor,  I always take what I read in a Rough Guide with a little pinch of salt. I have quite a few copies from different areas around the world. 

You can't argue with facts but sometimes the bias and language is easy to detect. 

Although "getting there" to Arizona, RG reckons flying into Las Vegas is cheapest. Maybe from within the US but for next year it was £125 per person more than Phoenix. Enough saved to cover the car hire...

I bought this used copy of the Rough Guide for £1.99 recently. It's a couple of years old but the Grand Canyon might be the same now.....

2009 Edition!

What I like about these guides is the additional information provided, what RG calls "context", the history of an area.
