The Man Who Walked through Time by Colin Fletcher

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.

Colin Fletcher was born in Wales and educated in England. He died in 2007. After serving in the Royal Marines, farming in Kenya, surveying in Zimbabwe, and exploring in northern and western Canada, he went to California in 1956. He is the first person to walk the length of Grand Canyon National Park from the rim to the bottom. The Thousand-Mile Summer, The Man Who Walked Through Time, River, The Hidden Worlds of Colin Fletcher, and three prior versions of The Complete Walker are among his many books on walking and the outdoors.
