Walking Man

Walking Man is the only biography of Colin Fletcher, the man who walked through time.
He was an iconic American folk hero best known as the first person to force a passage through the length of Grand Canyon National Park in one arduous solo journey. He was the world’s most famous long-distance walker.

He was the first thru-hiker.

Called the father of modern backpacking by Backpacker Magazine and others, Fletcher was the one who showed us the way—more than a million people followed his shadow into the green world.
