Ty’s book brings to life the early days of rafting and kayaking in California and Oregon with this collection of stories from a free-wheeling cast of characters. Much of the book traces Whitmore’s life and his improbable and extraordinary path to becoming a professional river guide. But it’s more than a biography. The book also describes evolution in raft design, techniques for navigating rapids, early conservation efforts, and wonderful stretches of river that Ty himself has rafted—some of them now lost to us. Altogether, the book serves as a rich color commentary on the early days of river running in the American West, capturing not only the precious nature of our wild rivers but also the audacious spirit of the people who are drawn to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSays one reviewer: “Stories of easy, carefree days or riveting moments presaging disaster often compelled me to try to picture the flow of the river they were on. Having floated many rivers in Northwest California years ago in crude little rafts, I could just feel their boats filling with water and needing to be bailed out quickly—one of the many river phrases Ty brought vividly back to me.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eAdds fellow rafter Mark Dubois: “Bryce Whitmore was such a humble, self-effacing, eclectic man, and well ahead of his time. I always knew Bryce was amazing, but learning the details of his life has taken my breath away. So many river runners’ lives were forever touched and impacted by Bryce, even unbeknownst to them. Few will comprehend his impact on our present world. Being at the right time and place, Ty shares remarkable insights into the history of whitewater rafting and its pioneers in California and the West. His sweet collection of stories and experiences draws one into a bye-gone era.”\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SOTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50493882630423,"sku":"","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/2837\/files\/0.jpg?v=1748451297"},{"product_id":"the-colorado-river-in-grand-canyon-river-map-guide","title":"The Colorado River in Grand Canyon River Map \u0026 Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten by a longtime river runner who has spent decades engaged in ecological research in the American Southwest, The Colorado River in Grand Canyon River Map \u0026amp; Guide gives boaters the information necessary to navigate from Glen Canyon Dam to Lake Mead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMile-by-mile river map from Glen Canyon Dam to Lake Mead, indicating named rapid locations and ratings, popular camping\/non-camping spots (with seasonal sun and shade indicators) and hiking trails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional information on geography, geology, biology, ecology and human history (with photos).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso includes a 54-year retrospective on Glen Canyon Dam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlank pages in the back provide space for scribbling notes about rapids, camps or unexpected sightings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuide opens flat for ease of use and color-coded sections aid in guidebook navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith book in hand, maps read from bottom to top to match the downstream flow of the river.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% of the proceeds from sales of this guide go directly to funding conservation work in and around Grand Canyon through the Grand Canyon Wildlands Council, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53544346943767,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/2837\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_3c4b04ae-a00d-498e-a951-7744af7b80a2.jpg?v=1781644916"},{"product_id":"let-the-water-do-the-work-stories-of-first-descents-and-the-soulful-art-of-rowing-whitewater","title":"Let the Water do the Work: Stories of first descents and the soulful art of rowing whitewater","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVivid and page-turning, Let the Water Do the Work will grab you and hurtle you straight into the boats and minds of men and women facing the uncertainty of exploring wild rivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the words of Kevin Fedarko, the New York Times bestselling author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Emerald Mile,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fox's book \"is a dance of words no less fluid and every bit as graceful as the rivers it celebrates.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTold without sentimentality, Fox’s edge-of-your-seat stories come from a lifetime of studying and rowing wild rivers.
