In honor of Great Outdoors Month and National Rivers Month, this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Parks & Travel” Show features award-winning author Kevin Fedarko who discusses his new book, “A WALK IN THE PARK: The True Story of a Spectacular Misadventure in the Grand Canyon.” It shares the odyssey Kevin his best friend and photographer Pete McBride undertook to transect 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.” 

A WALK IN THE PARK is an ode to such vanishing places, and a deeply moving plea for the preservation of America’s greatest national treasure. More: https://www.kevinfedarko.com/
