Those few experts who’ve completed such a journey say traversing the entirety of the Grand Canyon is about as tough as it gets. But Fedarko— and his companion Pete McBride — didn’t know that.

Yet, as they picked their way through, their appreciation for this wilderness grew as they explored parts of the canyon few have ever seen, became closer to its true history and learned about threats to its future.
