In the footsteps of Desert Solitaire, these essays by an award-winningwriter and student of cultures sift decades of experience backpacking andboating for a stance that questions the mainstream. More than meretales of bravado, they offer glimpses into the heart of the places explored, with the Grand Canyon as their center of gravity. Vivid, finely crafted, shotthrough with humor, self-effacing while deeply opinionated, No Walk inthe Park shows what it means to meet nature on nature's terms. Read it athome in an armchair, or at a river camp, or stuff it into your pack beforeyou go wandering.Join this author on a night hike to the great chasm's bottom; trek forty days inhis company below one rim, or snowshoe along the other; visit a Hopi mesafor a ceremony; marvel at hidden rock art; sip epic solitude; tag threatenedfish; and float next to Glen Canyon's slickrock or Niagara-size fleeting falls.
