See what noted author and Official Arizona State Historian, Marshall Trimble, has to say about The Grand Mistress.
The Grand Mistress
By Frank Grzesik
A person who manages to go through life without finding something to be passionate about has missed one of life’s most important experiences. Sometimes life gives us a second chance. Author Frank Grzesik let it get away the first time around but like the old love song, he found it was even better the second time. This is a love story about one man’s experience meeting the challenges of nature’s greatest architectural masterpiece to earn that Medal of Honor of hiking; a T-shirt that reads, “Rim to Rim.”
“It’s not the canyon we conquer but ourselves.”
Paraphrasing Sir Edmund Hillary

This short account of hiking the Grand Canyon was a charming read. Grzesik brings humor, honesty, and awe to the experience of hiking the Canyon in his 50s as well as hiking in general.
