In June of 1949, authors David and Gudy Gaskill pushed off into the Colorado River above fabled Glen Canyon to experience for themselves a journey that Edward Abbey has called "the ultimate Homeric voyage." They found a mystical world of soaring sandstone cliffs, raging rapids, fern-decked alcoves, and haunting solitude. Before this national treasure disappeared beneath the waters of Lake Powell in 1963, the Gaskills, family, and friends made numerous trips down Glen Canyon, including its maze of narrow side canyons, recording on film their experiences. Now this priceless archive is available just as the controversy heats up about dismantling some of the great dams in the West.Gaskill, David is the author of 'Peaceful Canyon Golden River A Photographic Journey Through Fabled Glen Canyon' with ISBN 9780967146652 and ISBN 0967146658.
