About the Author

Buzz Belknap, grew up going on river trips with his father, photographer Bill Belknap, and family friend Otis “Dock” Marston. Buzz’s outstanding Canyon adventures include a 1958 outboard expedition riding flows in excess of 100,000 c.f.s. and a 1963 sportyak trip on 900 c.f.s. He also crewed for the 1959 Disney film, Ten Who Dared, a reenactment of Powell’s journey, and, at the age of sixteen, piloted one of four jet boats on the successful 1960 Grand Canyon uprun. In 1968, while an officer in the U.S. Navy, he conceived the idea for the Grand Canyon River Guide. Working with his Dad and printer Eben Dale, he designed and produced the first Guide, now known as “Old Blue.” It came off the press in time for the 1969 Powell Centennial Celebration.
