About the Book
From the author of the beloved bestseller The Emerald Mile, A Walk in the Park is a rollicking and poignant account of an epic 750-mile odyssey, on foot, through the heart of America’s most magnificent national park and the grandest wilderness on earth. The tale narrates the odyssey Fedarko and his best friend Pete McBride undertook to transecta the entire length of the Grand Canyon, a feat billed by the handful of experts who have managed to complete it as “the toughest hike in the world.”
