NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) - Tight-rope walker Nik Wallenda was in western New York Friday, to make some announcements about his future.

Wallenda, who crossed the Niagara Falls last summer, is planning to take a piece of his Falls walk with him for an upcoming project. Wallenda is planning to use the rope from his walk across the Niagara Falls when he crosses the Grand Canyon.

Wallenda also announced that he has a book coming out, where he will share his Niagara Falls experience.
