Reviews / Votes

"As a conservation advocate, trip leader, and river ranger in Idaho and Wyoming for 20 years, I can tell you that Tim Palmer is a guide to be trusted. He knows these rivers with all the charms they offer and threats they face. This guidebook's going with me, everywhere. "

-Bill Sedivy, river ranger, paddler, and former director of Idaho Rivers United

"Tim Palmer has spent his life married to rivers, and his eloquence about that marriage has been of immense service to my own. Brilliant-as Tim's work always is-this book reminds us that our world, even in crisis, offers endless wonders of beauty and life."

-David James Duncan, author of The River Why and River Teeth

"Field Guide to Rivers of the Rocky Mountains is an encyclopedia of essentials for paddling and streamside hiking, but far more than that with rich back-stories, natural history, and stunning photos. It inspires my next round of adventures here in Montana and throughout the Rockies."

-Al Kesselheim, author of The Wilderness Paddler's Handbook and Let Them Paddle

"Whether you're a seasoned river rat or new to the culture, this book is a must-have companion for your glove box and dry box as you explore the incomparable rivers of the Rocky Mountain West."

-Mike Fiebig, American Rivers' Director of River Protection in Colorado, raft guide, and kayaker
