1. A Walk In The Park
"A Walk in the Park" by Kevin Fedarko is an enthralling narrative of a 750-mile journey through the Grand Canyon. This adventure takes readers through a vertical wilderness, navigating cliffs, steep drops, and stretches with scarce water access. Fedarko's trek is a rare feat, with fewer people having completed it in one go than have walked on the moon. Alongside photographer Peter McBride, Fedarko uncovers Native American ruins, remnants of Old West camps, and the impact of modern tourism. This book offers a unique glimpse into the canyon's hidden wonders and challenges.
