Tiny drops of water melt from snow in the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains every year. One drop meets another drop as they make their way to each of the great oceans of the world. This book covers the hundreds of rivers and creeks that form in the mountains and flow through the hills and deserts of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming. It contains the most comprehensive catalog of class I-V+ kayaking and rafting sections ever compiled, and is lit up with over 300 full-page color photos that say more than words. A user-friendly design, succinct river descriptions, and precise beta boxes make this the whitewater guidebook of choice. Evan Stafford and Kyle McCutchen. 636 pgs.
