By 1976, a dozen people had walked on the moon and more than fifty had reached “the ceiling of the world,” the summit of Mount Everest. But an end-to-end, below-the-rim hike of arguably the greatest canyon on earth—the Grand Canyon—had never been made. Then, in April of that year, Kenton Grua became the first in recorded history to complete the length of the canyon.

While to date, roughly 7,000 have summited Everest, fewer than 75 people have been documented as having walked the Grand Canyon’s entire length. In 2016, Tom Myers and his son Weston joined this exclusive group.

The Grandest Trek is a record of Tom and Weston’s challenging, sometimes hair- raising quest, accomplished in segments over nearly eight years. This is a highly personal account of Tom Myers’ journey through life, the origin of his desire to hike the length of the canyon, and the ups and downs of the bonding experience with his son.
