Harvey Butchart, author of Grand Canyon Treks, was called the "Obi-wan Kenobi of Grand Canyon hiking" in Backpacker Magazine. " 'Harvey is a legend,' said a reverent George Mancuso (editor's note: Mancuso was killed in a flash flood in the Little Colorado drainage, August 2001), whose canyon obsession has been inspired over the years by his relationship with Butchart. Butchart first hiked the canyon in 1945 when he was in his early 40s. He had just moved to Flagstaff to teach math at Northern Arizona University. 'It started out innocently enough,' he recalls. 'I thought the canyon was a nice place to hike...' " (Backpacker Magazine) Since then, Harvey has walked more than 12,000 miles in the Grand Canyon and is credited with finding 116 new routes from the rim to the Colorado River and 164 routes through the Redwall formation, the most dangerous part of the canyon. He has climbed 83 of the peaks in the canyon, 30 of those having been first ascents. Spotted Dog Press is proud to be the publisher of Harvey Butchart's classic, Grand Canyon Treks: 12,000 miles Through the Grand Canyon. |
