Description

Write "Colorado" on your heart by taking a realistic river raft guided tour down the River with Audrey Lee, accomplished author, artist and pilot. Audrey ran the river for three years and worked on Lake Powell for another two years. This book is about a tour guide trip of rafting the Colorado river with full color photographs and includes facts about the Glen Canyon Dam, the Colorado River flow and usage, Robert Stanton, Charles Spencer and gold mining, John D. Lee and Lee's Ferry, animals and birds of the Colorado Plateau, hydrology and geology of this section of the river, ancient civilizations and their beliefs, legends and petroglyphs. It also relates tales about John Wesley Powell, the first "river runner" of the Colorado as well as other river runners such as Norman Nevills, Bus Hatch, Georgie White, Glenn and Bessie Hyde, and Bill Beer and John Daggett, who swam the river with life vests. The book also includes Emory and Ellsworth Kolb, who made the world's first true-life adventure movie about running the river. Barry Goldwater also made a movie, which actually got his political career started. Experiencing the emerald green water and breath-taking vistas will bring you to a red rock cathedral that surpasses any man made structure on earth.

Author Biography:

Audrey Lee is especially qualified to write this book since she worked as a deckhand on Lake Powell for two years as well as piloted 22 passenger pontoon rafts down the Colorado River from Glen Canyon Dam to Lee's Ferry for three years. Today, Audrey's passion has finally found her and she delights in telling stories, especially about her times on the Colorado River.
