Winner of the 2024 National Outdoor Book Award in Outdoor Literature Winner of the 2025 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, Air Mail, Smithsonian Magazine, and Financial TimesA few years after quitting his job to become a whitewater guide on the Colorado River, Kevin Fedarko was approached by his best friend, National Geographic photographer Pete McBride, with a vision to embark on an end-to-end traverse of the Grand Canyon — a journey that, McBride promised, would be “a walk in the park.” The ensuing ordeal revealed a place that was deeper, richer, and far more complex than anything the two men had imagined. A singular portrait of a sublime place, A Walk in the Park is a deeply moving plea for the preservation of America's greatest natural treasure.

An immersive account of the challenges of a grueling 750-mile hike through the Grand Canyon. . . . Fedarko expansively describes the journey . . . with a combination of dry humor and horror, and he pays tribute to the spare beauty, grandeur, and silence of a place that few have seen, resulting in a memorable reading experience.

Readers will appreciate the buddy-comedy element throughout as Fedarko shares his and McBride’s steps, missteps, and arguments along the way, all supplemented nicely by McBride’s photographs. A Walk in the Park, though, particularly inspires when Fedarko shifts away from the tourist aspect of the canyon, detailing the ancestral history of the land and some of the Indigenous voices who continue to fight against overdevelopment today amid everbooming visitor numbers.
