Forthcoming books: The By Doug Ammons This winter Water Nymph Press
will publish its second book, on the legendary The first section of the book recounts the history of the early attempts to run the Canyon’s whitewater. A set of excellent, high quality photos shows the kayakers who took part in the various attempts to open up this run, and most of all, the beauty of the deep, threatening gorge and its impressive whitewater. The middle section is the story of my solo descent of the canyon in 1992. I’ve avoided talking in public about this for the last 13 years, because the experience was so intensely private, and there are some things that just take time to understand. To the best of my ability, I tried to do the hardest thing I could conceive of, in the purest style possible. In the epilogue of the book I talk about the commonalities between those who seek the ultimate challenges in any sport and the possibilities that every one of us hold inside.
