The Rio Grande: An Eagle's View
See the Rio Grande as you never seen it before - from above. Experience this spectacular new large-format book, authored by Steve McDowell, chronicling one of the world's most significant rivers. With more than 185 aerial photographs by well-known photographer, Adriel Heisey, the book celebrates the river from its headwaters along the backbone of the Continental Divide and follows its 1885-mile course all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. The aerial photographs in the book — taken over an 11-year period and selected from more than 25,000 images in total — capture the river in different seasons, moods and its diverse habitats.
If the images aren't sufficient inspiration to be a voice for the river the book's four luminescent essays will be. Robert Redford and Senator Tom Udall have written a foreword and afterword, while Steve McDowell provides the book's main essay, a perspective on the evolving conservation ethic that exists among the river dependent communities. John Horning of WildEarth Guardians provides an opening essay describing how the book came to be. |

The Rio Grande
The Rio Grande is the fourth longest river in North America. Flowing nearly 2,000 miles from Colorado to the Gulf of Mexico, in New Mexico it occupies the Rio Grande Valley, where it provides water for habitat, agriculture, and a growing population. In northern New Mexico, where the river has carved a pair of spectacular canyons, the Rio Grande also provides some of the most exceptional recreation opportunities and scenery in North America. This comprehensive, spiral bound, waterproof, 122-page river guide provides detailed, full-color maps of 153 miles of the Rio Grande, from Lasauses, Colorado to Cochiti Dam in New Mexico. Divided into eleven river stretches — including the popular whitewater runs in the Taos Box, Racecourse, and White Rock Canyon — the guide covers stretches that range in difficulty from placid canoe tours to gripping kayak descents. The river maps are developed on an aerial photographic base (digital orthophoto quads), allowing the user to more easily identify locations. Although the focus of the guide is on geology and landscape, the guide is packed with information and photos on geography, hydrology, climate, boating safety, river management, rock art, and much more. Providing detailed information on access and trails, history and landscape, railroads and mining, this guide is also an invaluable resource for hikers, anglers, cyclists, day trippers, historians, philosophers, and casual visitors. |
