 Just released…a true
canine adventure in the Grand
Canyon!
The Adventures of Salt and Soap at Grand Canyon
The Adventures of
Salt and Soap at Grand Canyon is the true story of two
puppies who wandered into the Grand Canyon and
experienced great adventures—multiple rim-to-river
hikes, a river trip and a helicopter ride—while
ultimately snuggling their way into park rangers’
hearts. Salt and Soap didn’t know they weren’t allowed
below the rim of the Grand Canyon—they were just
puppies! Their curiosity and love of human companionship
carried them through rugged hikes, riverside camping in
a violent thunderstorm, the unpredictable rapids of the
mighty Colorado River, ranger patrols at Phantom Ranch
at the bottom of the canyon, a harrowing helicopter ride
back to the rim, and a new life on the South Rim of
Grand Canyon National Park. Told with compassion and a
sense of wonder by the park ranger who adopted the pups,
this one-of-a-kind canine adventure tale reveals the
kindness of strangers, the ruggedness of the Grand
Canyon, and the joy two wiggly, perpetually happy
puppies can bring to everyone they encounter.
