The best first hand guide to Utah whitewater!!!!

Gary and his brother have paddled every river and creek that is described in this book. If you plan on running any Utah river and creek, this is the guide to use for specific beta, when the best running time frames are (cfm wise), all permit requirements, put-ins and take-outs and all geography characteristics that may preclude a good time. Get it and take it with you! Awesome detailed route maps that can't be beat.
