Mighty Colorado River by Jim Turner
Here is your chance to take a trip down one of the world's great rivers from its first trickle to its broad delta. Remarkable photographs show the West's natural wonders, tracing the Colorado River and its major tributary, the Green River, from beginning to end. The rivers flow through many habitats from treeless tundra to coastal desert, encompassing millions of years of geological history. On their way to the sea, the Colorado and the Green bend through more than a dozen national parks, monuments, wildlife refuges, and recreation areas, and nourish wildlife from majestic moose to fifty-pound trout to tiny lizards. Enjoy descriptions of river communities and some of the best fishing holes and recreation areas along the way, as well as facts about glaciers, dinosaurs, miners, and mountain men. Ride along (staying dry all the way) through the vast Colorado River Basin, which covers more land area than Spain and Portugal combined, and of course through the unforgettable colors and vistas of the grandest canyon on earth.Jim Turner is a retired engineer who helps out at the NEW Zoo on a regular basis. This is his first fiction piece. Jim moved to the Green Bay, Wisconsin, area for work and has fallen in love with the place he now calls home. Beyond the Green Bay Packers, the region has a rich history and natural beauty that is often overlooked. Jim's purpose is to share his love of the area with readers all over the world.
