No Walk in the Park

<p><span>���������</span>In the footsteps of <em>Desert Solitaire</em> these essays by an award-winning</p><p>writer and student of cultures sift decades of experience backpacking and</p><p>boating for a stance that questions the mainstream. More than mere</p><p>tales of bravado they offer glimpses into the heart of the places explored</p><p>with the Grand Canyon as their center of gravity. Vivid finely crafted shot</p><p>through with humor self-effacing while deeply opinionated No Walk in</p><p>the Park shows what it means to meet nature on nature's terms. Read it at</p><p>home in an armchair or at a river camp or stuff it into your pack before</p><p>you go wandering.</p><p><br></p><p>Join this author on a night hike to the great chasm's bottom; trek forty days in</p><p>his company below one rim or snowshoe along the other; visit a Hopi mesa</p><p>for a ceremony; marvel at hidden rock art; sip epic solitude; tag threatened</p><p>fish; and float next to Glen Canyon's slickrock or Niagara-size fleeting falls.</p>
