A Walk in the Park: The True Story of a Spectacular Misadventure in the Grand Canyon

byKevin Fedarko

Kevin Fedarko recounts an audacious attempt to walk the length of the Grand Canyon, a route far more punishing and complicated than he and photographer Pete McBride initially understood. Their journey becomes a story of physical limits, friendship, hubris, and dependence on people who know the landscape intimately. Along the way, Fedarko explores the canyon's geology, human history, Indigenous communities, water, development pressures, and conservation battles. The result combines misadventure with an expansive portrait of a place whose beauty cannot be separated from its danger and contested future.
