Synopsis:

At age sixty-seven, Colin Fletcher, the guru of backpacking in America, undertook a rigorous six-month raft expedition down the full length of the Colorado River--alone. He needed "something to pare the fat off my soul...to make me grateful, again, for being alive." The 1,700 miles between the Colorados source in Wyoming and its conclusion at Mexicos Gulf of California contain some of the most spectacular vistas on earth, and Fletcher is the ideal guide for the terrain. As his privileged companions, we travel to places like Disaster Falls and Desolation Canyon, observe beaver and elk, experience sandstorms and whitewater rapids, and share Fletcher's thoughts on the human race, the environment, and the joys of solitude.


Review:

"British-born Fletcher is an old-fashioned adventurer, a backcountry walker who's become the serious hiker's guru....[A] memorable adventure--and I was sorry [when] it was over."

Elizabeth Hightower, Washington Post Book World
