Over the course of more than a year, writer Kevin Fedarko and photographer Pete McBride hiked the entire length of Grand Canyon National Park — not rim to rim, as is popular with adventurers, but end to end — over 750 miles. Fedarko and McBride tackled the outrageous journey to highlight the many challenges facing this iconic landscape today, from overdevelopment to encroaching pollution from nearby uranium mining. After completing the journey, National Geographic named the two men “Adventurers of the Year.” McBride has since released a book, Grand Canyon: Between River and Rim, and a feature-length documentary, “Into the Grand Canyon.” Scribner recently acquired the rights to publish Fedarko’s forthcoming book on the 14-month odyssey with McBride. For Chautauqua, Fedarko and McBride share learnings from their journey in a program titled “Into the Canyon: Exploring a National Treasure.”
