About This Book

A first-person travel narrative recounts two brothers' photographic descent of the Green and Colorado rivers from Wyoming through the Grand Canyon to the lower reaches, combining practical detail about boat construction and river-running with vivid descriptions of rapids, canyon walls, camps, and the region's geological and visual wonders. The account blends technical problem-solving and moments of peril with measured reflection on landscape, light, isolation, and the river's moods, and includes photographic plates that illustrate scenes, equipment, and episodes from the journey.
