I read that book when it was first released. It's not a bad book, but it wasn't as enticing as I had hoped.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

So I haven't followed this thread completely or read every post.... but if this is back to the DEATH Thread where do we put the accidents where someone should have died and has no right to still be walking the face of the earth?

I read Dave Nally's new book this week, Flash Floods & Falls: Deaths and Rescues in Zion National Park, and found it to be very educational and quite entertaining. The book contains a great mixture of accident reports, personal experiences and historical tidbits that will be sure to keep your attention (assuming you are a fan of Zion National Park). Bo Beck's contributions are also astonishing -my description of his prowess as an outdoorsman will be nothing but lacking, so I won't even attempt...
So, check out Dave's book, it's a very good read.

Imagine the most exciting 100 trip reports you have ever read... the book I just finished is better than that.
Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon is a brilliant collection of tragic tales. It is pure quality from cover-to-cover; filled with true stories of murder, suicidal boat rides, plane crashes and even high speed car chases. The book starts out strong and gains momentum (unbelievably) for 367 pages. The final few tales will leave your jaw on the floor.
Not only will this book make your heart race and your palms sweat, it also offers plenty of practical advice on how to avoid catastrophe in the rugged environment of Grand Canyon. I strongly suggest checking it out.

As long as we are on the subject of books about "death in national parks", another would be Laurence Parent, Death in Big Bend. I haven't read it . . . yet, but it seems to have garnered mostly positive reviews on Amazon:

The cover---with the skull--is nice and morbid . . .

The book is great- the original documentary is great - and PBS just did a 3 part documentary of 5 guys trying to recreate Shack's voyage and hike across S Georgia. Also very good.

I've read South, a first-hand account of the expedition, written by Shackelton himself. He was a great adventurer and a brilliant storyteller. South is amongst the best books I've ever read.
If Endurance adds to the tale, I'll have to check it out.
Why the eye roll? There is much to be learned from the misfortunes of others.
Big Bend looks like a good book, I'll give it a read too.THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CANYONEERING TRIP OF 2017 - WEST CANYON VIA HELICOPTER.
