Product Description

Tiny drops of water melt from snow in the 14,000-foot peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Each drop gathers with another, and another, and eventually those drops reach salt water in one of four places, thousands of miles away from their origin. This book covers the hundreds of rivers and creeks that form in the mountains and flow through the hills and deserts of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming. The most comprehensive catalog of class II - V+ kayaking and rafting sections ever compiled, and lit up with over 300 full-page color photos that say more than words can. A clear design, succinct river descriptions, and precise beta boxes make this the whitewater guidebook of choice.

Customer Reviews

Very extensive guide with great photos
This book covers six states and offers good descriptions of the massive amount of whitewater available in the southern rockies. Many of the rivers have previously been undocumented, so it is a very valuable resource for adventurers in search of new frontiers. This is the first guidebook to document "The Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone" which is my favorite run in North America. The photos are astounding, and are worth buying the book for. Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet

A top notch guide for kayakers, rafters, and arm chair dreamers
This book is commonly referred to as the "New Testament" of whitewater in Colorado. 'Colorado Rivers & Creeks' is the "Old Testament" of whitewater in Colorado. The new book covers runs in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Wyoming - many of which weren't in 'Colorado Rivers and Creeks' which only covered Colorado and some runs in Northern New Mexico. Whitewater of the Southern Rockies has good information, great photos, and includes many runs that were previously unknown to most of the boating community. The ratings for each run are detailed and include info on seasonality, water levels, difficulty, length, put-ins and take-outs, and a subjective rating on the quality of the run itself. If you live in the areas this book covers it is an indispensable resource.
