Description
Kevin Fedarko's A Walk in the Park is a gripping account of an epic 750-mile odyssey through the Grand Canyon. After quitting his job to pursue a dream of becoming a whitewater guide, Fedarko embarked on an end-to-end traverse of the canyon with his friend Pete McBride. The journey, which lasted over a year, revealed a place that was deeper, richer, and far more complex than they had imagined. The duo faced numerous challenges, including navigating the all-but impenetrable reaches of the canyon's truest wilderness, a vertical labyrinth of thousand-foot cliffs and crumbling ledges. Their struggle to make their way through this unforgiving terrain came within a hair's breadth of killing them both. This is a story of perseverance, friendship, and the human spirit's capacity to thrive in the most extreme conditions. A Walk in the Park is a poignant and unforgettable account of one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States.
