Review Quotes: "A masterwork mile-by-mile guide to the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon!

I couldn't put it down."--William McGinnis, author of Whitewater Rafting, The Guide's Guide Augmented: Reflections on Guiding Professional River Trips, and thriller novels including Whitewater: A Thriller.
