4.0 out of 5 stars Must-have book for rafting down the Colorado, September 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Belknap's Revised Waterproof Canyonlands River Guide (Paperback)

I just took the 1969 edition of this very handy book with me on an 8-day motorized trip down the canyon. Another rafter had this 1991 version, which is even better. I was able to tell where we were at all times -- to know what rapids were ahead, to know how far we'd traveled that day, and to know the names of the side canyons as they passed, among other things. The book's explanation of the Canyon's geology is the most understandable I have seen. Best of all, the book is waterproof, so it was completely accessible throughout the trip.

4.0 out of 5 stars An indispensible guide for river runners!, July 27, 1998

This review is from: Belknap's Revised Waterproof Canyonlands River Guide (Paperback)

This guide has detailed, mile by mile account of the most popular river runs of the Canyonland region. It is an excellent map with notations and topographic contour lines. Locations of the major features of the river, rapids, archaeological sites, etc. are shown. Must have if you are planning to float these rivers.

2.0 out of 5 stars "Where's the beef?", September 28, 2009

This review is from: Belknap's Waterproof Canyonlands River Guide-All New Color Edition (Paperback)

Bought this as I'm planning to float Westwater and need a River Map i.e. descriptions of rapids, what to look out for, where/what to scout, etc. While it has lots of detail on geologic formations, there are no details on any rapids. None, zero, zip, zilch. It shows them on the maps but leaves it to you to know if it's Class III, Class V, how best to run, characterisitcs at high/low water, etc. Will look for something with more substance.
