Went on amazon and saw a bunch of maps and hiking books on the grand canyon trails. Can you recommend some websites and books that have useful info on running the r2r2r trail. Looking for logistics such as where to stay, what to bring on trail, food/liquids, types of clothing to bring, emergency gear,etc. Not running this anytime soon but would like to start making plans. Also, has anyone on here ever ran the r2r and then stayed in a hotel and ran back to the starting point the next day?
