In 1963 Colin Fletcher became the first man to walk the length of Grand canyon, below the Rim. It began with a dream, when he and a friend detoured from a cross-country trip to take a hurried look at the great natural wonder. Standing on the Rim, surrounded by the profound and almost mystical silence, Fletcher knew that something had happened to the way he looked at things. 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.

Perhaps it's a product of its day but I'm 3+ hours into the book and there's just far too much geology in the book and too little adventure. Perhaps there was a clamoring for information on that sort of thing in 1963, I don't know. The book comes across unnecessarily heady and by extension repetitive. After three hours in you get it: the Grand Canyon has layers of rock x-million years old. I don't know if I will finish it but it would have it's work cut out to become an adventure book in the latter 5 hours.

Less of an adventure book...

I have read this book several times and will do so throughout my life. I can't remember how many times I've been to the Grand Canyon ,both North and South rims, and into her beautiful depths. I've recommended this wonderful book to many, even to some Park Rangers at the Canyon.

One of the Great modern adventures!

I really enjoyed this book of adventure. He went into details which helps when you are a hiker. I very much appreciated this book.

Great adventures

I enjoyed their book, but like some others I would have preferred a bit more discussion on what he saw as opposed to how he felt.

The narration left something to be desired.

As far as some of the comments about him being racist, I didn’t pick up on that. It seems to me, he was just describing what he saw. It’s unrealistic to expect a book written when this one was, to hold to today’s sentiments.

Enjoyed, But Not Delighted

Quite an achievement this difficult trek is. They said it couldn't be done. It was completed.

Interesting Adventure

Very enjoyable. If you like hiking, camping, or exploring then this is your book. Inspiring, insightful and purposeful. The father of backpacking paints a beautiful picture of the Grand Canyon and his 2 month adventure along his unmarked path from one side to the other. Enjoy

I first read this book in 1969 during my first X-country drive with a number of hippy friends. We camped near the entrance to the Grand Canyon park and stood on its rim, gazing in awe. The book was a perfect tag-along. (My other book was Kerouac's "On the Road). Got back just in time for the Woodstock Music Festival. Loved Fletcher's books then, and loved it again. The reader was not the best. His timing was awkward. I don't know if Fletcher had a Welsh accent, but that night have made the reading better.

If you like it, find the book for its photos & map

This 'read' like an English professor wrote it rather than a man that hiked the length of the Grand Canyon. Would rather have heard about what he saw.

Eloquent

The content of this book is enjoyable for anyone who gravitate towards walking in the west. But how on earth did somebody make the decision to not use a Welsh or at least British reader? This guy was not an American and the accent is disconcerting when you know that
