ABOUT Aspen Words – An Evening with Mary Louise Kelly

Join bestselling author Kevin Fedarko as he recounts the untamed adventure behind “A Walk in the Park,” narrating his grueling 750-mile trek through the Grand Canyon—an awe-inspiring journey across perilous cliffs, hidden histories, and breathtaking vistas. With humor, humility, and deep reverence, he transports readers to the edge of endurance and into the heart of America’s most majestic landscape. Fedarkso is also the author of “The Emerald Mile.”

Moderated by Daniel Shaw
