AWARDS and TESTIMONIALS
of Guide to the Colorado River through Grand Canyon by Tom Martin and Duwain Whitis:
by National Oudoor Book Awards
2007 Winner for Outdoor Adventure Guidebook
For whitewater river runners, the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon is the pinnacle
experience. Now there's a river map and guide to match that reputation. It's built upon a
series of 7.5 minute topographic maps, correctly oriented and large enough to read easily
from the seat of your boat. Outstanding cartographical work combined with accurate
descriptions of rapids, camps and landmarks make this the state-of-the-art of river guides.

...I purchased and used a copy of your newest guide on my August 2007 trip on the Grand
and found it to be an outstanding trip essential. One of our trip participants lost his
copy of the guide above Phantom Ranch. He was sad of course. The good news is it was
found on a rock by a party travelling several days behind us. They contacted me when
they got off the river, to return the book, but also made the comment that it was very
useful to them as well since no one in their party had a guide as updated as yours....

As a foot note.....I was digging through the ruins of my house [in New Orleans post-Katrina]
last weekend and unburied the first copy of Guide to the Colorado River through Grand Canyon.
It looked pretty bad,but after we washed it you can hardly tell it from the new one!
