Run, River, Run: A Naturalist's Journey Down One of the Great Rivers

by Ann Zwinger, Unknown Author

The Green River runs more than 730 miles from its source in Wyoming's Wind River range to its confluence with the Colorado River in Utah's Canyon lands National Park. Ann Zwinger has covered every mile of the river- on foot, by canoe or river raft, or from the air- and she has made exquisite use of her extraordinary descriptive powers to immerse the reader in the sights, smells and sensations of a beautiful region. Transported by her narrative and evocative drawings, we ride the rapids over dangerous rocks, observe the wild flowers, animal life and geological formations along the river's shore, and relive the history of Indians, fur trappers and homesteaders of the past.
