\n \u201cA triumph. Fedarko doesn\u2019t describe awe; he induces it.\u201d \u2014The New York Times Book Review * \u201cPassionate\u2026memorable\u2026life-affirming.\u201d \u2014The Wall Street Journal<\/p>\n

From the author of the beloved bestseller The Emerald Mile, a rollicking and poignant account of an epic 750-mile odyssey, on foot, through the heart of America\u2019s most magnificent national park and the grandest wilderness on earth.<\/p>\n

Two friends, zero preparation, one dream. A few years after quitting his job to follow an ill-advised dream of becoming a guide on the Colorado River, Kevin Fedarko was approached by his best friend, National Geographic photographer Pete McBride, with a vision as bold as it was harebrained. Together, they would embark on an end-to-end traverse of the Grand Canyon, a journey that, McBride promised, would be \u201ca walk in the park.\u201d Against his better judgment, Fedarko agreed, unaware that the small cluster of experts who had completed the crossing billed it as \u201cthe toughest hike in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ensuing ordeal, which lasted more than a year, revealed a place that was deeper, richer, and far more complex than anything the two men had imagined\u2014and came within a hair\u2019s breadth of killing them both. They struggled to make their way through a vertical labyrinth of thousand-foot cliffs and crumbling ledges where water is measured out by the teaspoon and every step is fraught with peril\u2014and where, even today, there is still no trail along the length of the country\u2019s best-known and most iconic park.<\/p>\n

Along the way, veteran long-distance hikers ushered them into secret pockets, invisible to the millions of tourists gathered on the rim, where only a handful of humans have ever laid eyes. Members of the canyon\u2019s eleven Native American tribes brought them face-to-face with layers of history that forced them to reconsider myths at the center of our national parks\u2014and exposed them to the threats of commercial tourism. Even Fedarko\u2019s dying father, who had first pointed him toward the canyon more than forty years earlier but had never set foot there himself, opened him to a new way of seeing the landscape.<\/p>\n

And always, there was the great gorge itself: austere and unforgiving but suffused with magic, drenched in wonder, and redeemed by its own transcendent beauty. A singular portrait of a sublime place, A Walk in the Park is a deeply moving plea for the preservation of America\u2019s greatest natural treasure.
