River: One Man's Journey Down the Colorado, Source to Sea
by Colin Fletcher

It's probably not so rare for a man in his sixties to recognize that he needs "something to pare the fat off my soul...to make me grateful, again, for being alive." But few are inspired, as a result, to make a six month foot-and-raft voyage, alone, down the length of America's second longest river - the 1,700 mile Colorado, complete with Olympic class rapids, epic thunderstorms, and encroaching desert. To Colin Fletcher, the backpacking guru and consumate observer of nature, this Wyoming to Mexico journey, once conceived, is irresistable. More than a show of endurance, it is an opportunity for him to explore the geology of the landscape, and to treat the reader to a bevy of dramatic, moving, and hilarious experiences.
