Few people have ever completed a thru-hike of the Grand Canyon, and now National Geographic explorers Kevin Fedarko and Pete McBride know why: The 750-mile hike quickly proved to be the most difficult undertaking of their lives. With no trail to follow, the two found themselves bushwhacking through dense brush and cacti, and moving up and down steep vertical terrain in scorching heat as they navigated their way through the canyon. Though they initially embarked on the hike as a way to raise public awareness of development issues threatening the iconic national park, the pair quickly found they had completely underestimated the difficulty of their journey and nearly quit in the first week. Join Fedarko and McBride as they comically recount their brutal adventure and shed light on the myriad of threats facing Grand Canyon National Park.

This is the type of story I grew up watching ntional Geography with!!! stories of travel, amazing landscapes, animals.......Good job guys!!
I just want to thank Kevin Fadarko and Pete McBride for this beautiful and fullfilling documentary.
I have watched it (the 3 parts) on youtube several times now. Every time I watch it I feel like I'm listening to my favorite album. Just gives me so much! Thank you!!!
I was 60 before I experienced the Canyon for the first time. It is incredibly difficult to put words to the feeling of standing there on the rim. Thank you for this opportunity to see it through your eyes.
" Comically" is so appropriate a visual rendition of what happens. Good job guys. Glad your team survived the journey.
Finally subbing to this channel pays off. An actual video that is longer than 2 minutes.
Anything that educate the public is welcome, thanks to your adventures
I am so glad I stumbled across this. I am from Arizona originally. The Grand Canyon is an amazing place.
My son and I hiked rim to rim Oct 2021 and this was next level. You guys are AWESOME!
After kayaking Grand Canyon, I now have your book based on the hike, I watched the film, I read The Emerald Mile. I think I'm obsessed.
This is a great companion to Kevin's really wonderful book. Read the book; then watch this.
wow this is awesome. thank you. the human spirit lives! And thank you to the team that rebooted your mission.
Why does this barely have any views?
This stuff is really important.
Right? Confounding.
Superb!
Amazing story!!!
I’m watching into the canyon as i watch this
Great guys...
amazing
looks kind of like an old matt damon
Or Randy Travis 🤪
i had the pleasure of doing part of this journey in 2001 8 days and about 110 miles give or take where wonderful but grueling ps i did the easy part on the eastern side it really is quite an experience i hope this video inspires others to give it a shot at part of it
As a fan of the author Bill Bryson this all seems very familiar.
i didn't know John Mellencamp was a backpacker
Lesson: ask the professionals- those who have been there done that.
I didn't see them filter water anywhere in the documentary. Iodine pills ? (Oh they definitely drank from puddles directly-why would a nat geo documentary show such a thing ?)
Also did I see one of them wearing a bicycle helmet when rappelling ? Bike helmets are single crash helmets - not the same as climbing helmets.
Also, they were hiking too close to the edge sometimes, I think for photo/video value. I would imagine people would hike farther away from the edge.
This would be better without the tag team comedy act
mega
Nice story but hard to listen to Kevin’s vocabulary. Megafauna? Ethos? Psychological matrix? Ugh. I just kept zoning out when he was speaking. 🙄
I zoned out reading your comment..
i'm in favor of modernizing access as much as possible!
lee shafer I’m in favor of not destroying more of untouched nature when there is so little left on this earth
I would easily have done that in 3.5/ 4 months
