A Walk in the Park by Kevin Fedarko (2024) is subtitled "The True Story of a Spectacular Misadventure in the Grand Canyon". It describes a hike of ~800 miles along the cliffs of the Grand Canyon National Park as performed by the author, his friend Pete McBride, and various helpful experts.

Fedarko's prose is generally good, though sometimes a bit turgid when describing the awesome scenery, sometimes excessively first-person, sometimes distractingly preachy, but overall fast-flowing and enjoyable. The real problems with the book are the unfortunate absence of decent maps keyed to the journey, the lack of an index, the failure to include a timeline, and the generally poor quality of the illustrations. Perhaps some future edition can remedy those issues!
