Dories, Ho!

By: Matt Smith, Karen Smith

Narrated by: David Colacci

Travel with Matt and Karen as they float down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. In September 2016, they experienced the trip of a lifetime with 14 friends and a crew of 10 while traveling in wooden dories through the canyon. Dories, Ho! is a story of their adventure and discovery. Similar to their first travel memoir Dear Bob and Sue, this book is as much about their relationship as it is their fantastic trip. Matt and Karen's quirky writing style is both humorous and irreverent. It's fun, laugh out loud, and an easy listen.

While not intended to be a traditional guidebook, anyone contemplating a river trip through the Grand Canyon will benefit from this firsthand account. Listeners will feel as if they've traveled with the authors on their journey to and through Grand Canyon National Park.

If you are looking for a story that will make you laugh and inspire you to get out and see our incredible national parks, Dories, Ho! is for you.

Absolutely fantastic read!

Like all other books written by Matt & Karen Smith, this book is an absolute treasure. If you're a fan of reading about our beautiful, wild landscape, I highly recommend reading this book.

The trip you don’t want to end

Much like the group who travels through the Grand Canyon, I was so sad when the book was over. The sense of humor combined with great storytelling and respect for the beautiful place that is the Grand Canyon make for a compelling listen. The narrator seems to fit the writing perfectly and you wish you were sitting with the authors able to listen to even more stories. If you’re thinking of a listen, go for it. It’s a fun escape to an adventure.

Another Great Book by Matt And Karen Smith

This book chronicles Matt and Karen's float trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Great mix of storytelling and informative information.

good story, poor narration

story was good, narrator made Karen sound trite and petty, a feeling i didnt get from other books

Great book

My husband and I listened to Dories, Ho as we drove our RV from Georgia to Colorado. It’s the first leg og our own national parks tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narration. Thank you for inspiring us to keep going.
