Have you ever wanted to walk across a vast expanse on a tightrope? Or try to jump over it on a motorcycle? Or parachute into it?

One of the most popular places to try these spine-tingling stunts is the Grand Canyon, or — in some cases — side canyons adjacent to the Grand Canyon.

Todd Berger wrote about the history of these stunts in his book "It Happened At Grand Canyon." Berger is the former director of publishing at the Grand Canyon Association and was based at the park.

He joined The Show to talk about the history he uncovered.
