An anthology of stories and artwork produced entirely by the river guiding community of Grand Canyon. Often hilarious, sometimes bittersweet and always entertaining, these true tales tell the stories of a landscape, a lifestyle and a unique community.

A river trip through the Grand Canyon is one of the great experiences of a lifetime, and every river trip is filled with stories. There’s This River… Grand Canyon Boatman Stories tells the tales of this experience and this landscape from the perspective of the boatmen who spend their lives guiding people down this river.

There’s This River has become an indispensable addition to any library for those interested in the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River, or just plain great storytelling. This expanded second edition includes all the old favorite stories and artwork, and updates the collection with many new pieces.

You’ll read about the fastest rowing trip through the canyon on the high water of 1983, and about Eleanor, who found a strength she never knew she had. From heroism in flash floods and rescues in rapids, to encounters with bighorn sheep and red-tailed hawks, this collection ranges from hilarious to bittersweet. These stories will have you laughing and crying, laughing again–and ready to head downstream.
