  • Live From The North Rim: Best-Selling Author Kevin Fedarko
    Oct 18 2024

    Kevin Fedarko now has two Grand Canyon-related best sellers to his name: The Emerald Mile and his latest book, A Walk In The Park, which chronicles what he calls the "spectacular misadventure" of his through-hike of the 700+ mile length of the Canyon.

    Kevin recently gave a talk at the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim, and we were there to record every word. The audio quality isn't up to our usual standards, but we think you'll enjoy it nonetheless.
