Grand Canyon Ecstasy

Grand Canyon Ecstasy: The Psyche of Water and Stone is an exploration of the practical and philosophical aspects of solo hiking the Grand Canyon. Author Dennis L. Outwater adeptly contextualizes stunning descriptions of his ecstatic experiences of the Grand Canyon landscape through citation of both historic and modern-day philosophers and psychologists. In combining the author's personal anecdotes and revelations from hiking the Grand Canyon alone with deep research and insight into the historical, societal, and philosophical implications of one of the world's greatest natural wonders, Grand Canyon Ecstasy is at once a challenge and a joy to its readers.
