River of Time: Tales and Travels on the Colorado River through Grand Canyon

A great vacation on a world famous river. That seems to sum up taking a 
river trip through Grand Canyon—or does it? In reality, there is so much 
more to traveling down this river than simply a holiday; it is truly a 
journey instead. Join veteran Grand Canyon river guide and geologist 
Christa Sadler on a photographic expedition from Lees Ferry to Lake 
Mead: 277 miles through the Grand Canyon by raft, dory, motor rig and 
paddleboat. Along the way, we will watch a canyon be born and deepen as 
it winds through its landscape of red rocks and black gorges.

We will see some of the ancient creatures that lived in the region 
hundreds of millions of years ago. We’ll run some of the world’s most 
famous whitewater, and explore ancient ruins, trickling waterfalls and 
one of the finest earth science classrooms in the world. Christa will 
read from her new collection of river tales, "There’s This River… Grand 
Canyon Boatman Stories", written by professional guides in the Grand 
Canyon, and share the stories of a community, a landscape and an 
extraordinary experience.

Rei will have both her books, “There’s This River” and “Life In Stone” 
on display and for sale at her presentation.
