When I first read the book "Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon" I was amazed I had never heard of one particular story that occurred in a very unusual landscape.

My curiosity lead me to retrace a catastrophic series of events that occurred in the Hopi Salt Trail / Little Colorado River in August 2001. Into the Arizona Desert and down a flash - flood prone canyon that has two sides - One is blue and friendly. The other is black and deadly.

This place ended up exceeding all my expectations...

George Mancuso was a photographer and passionate explorer, Linda was a mother and Flagstaff resident, both in their late 40's / early 50's. Best wishes go to the families of these outdoor adventurers.

"Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon" is written by Thomas M. Myers, Michael Patrick Ghiglieri
