The Emerald Mile: The Epic Story of the Fastest Ride in History Through the Heart of the Grand Canyon by Kevin Fedarko

5.0

Really enjoyed this read and learned a lot before my trip down the Grand Canyon, but I will say the title is slightly misleading... the book is more about the history of the Canyon and the Glen Canyon Dam than it is about the speed record (although the speed ride is definitely a part of the story and is fascinating, it only makes up a relatively small portion of the book). Still loved the book, but it wasn't fully what I expected.
