Rafting Western Rivers with the Ladies

By: Zan Merrill, Nikki Naiser

Narrated by: Rachel, Grace, Domi, Matilda, Sarah, Zan

What do a bunch of well-seasoned river gals do on river trips without their men? Everything you might imagine, and more. These stories invite you to relive experiences of women who have been running rivers for decades and find themselves back out on whitewater year after year. You'll find tales of difficult rescues and the kind of unexpected adventures western river runners love to share. Through a variety of stories, haikus, poems, and essays, this anthology goes deeper. The personal accounts explore the beauty of both the rivers and trusted friendships forged over the years. Sharing life's celebrations and tragedies, these women navigate the waters of their lives.

Yeehaw

This compilation of river stories is a gift. These women are courageous, competent, and compassionate. Their experiences are told intimately with wisdom, humility, and humor. They are fiercely independent yet totally for one another. I wish I had the boat and the skills to join them. This book is inspirational. It contains many practical details for successful river running, and why women only trips work so well.
