The remarkable classic of nature writing by the first man ever to have walked the entire length of the Grand Canyon.
Synopsis:
In 1963 Colin Fletcher became the first man to walk the length of Grand canyon, below the Rim.

He also knew that the Canyon, with its depths and distances, cliffs, buttes, and hanging terraces, beckoned to him, calling him on a journey that would challenge both his body and his mind.
