About the Author Tom Blagden Jr.
The book weaves a wondrous adventure that will bring readers along on a journey while raising questions about the significance of a national park and an iconic American River and how to sustain them for generations to follow.
On the centennial of Grand Canyon National Park it seems only fitting that we journey together to this unique place through the pages of this astonishing book.
Tom Blagden\'s images and Rod Nash\'s essay reveal the canyon from a different perspective portraying what it\'s like to be on the River and immersed a mile deep, surrounded by rock almost half the age of the earth.
Rafters never tire of it and, if anything, feel more in awe of the Canyon\'s magnificence with each trip.
The route--the River--is the same every time but the experience constantly variable and deeply profound.
What started as an exceptional opportunity for Tom Blagden to raft through The Canyon in 2006 with Rod Nash at the oars has evolved into a passionate photographic pursuit that still continues.
The Grand Canyon captures and evokes the power of that journey from the drama of the rapids and the immeasurable scale of the canyon walls to the subtle rock patterns and varied life forms.
Only a small fraction of those people, however, have the privilege of experiencing the canyon by rafting down the Colorado River.
As one of the Wonders of the World and the most iconic national park in America, the Grand Canyon enthralls six million visitors each year.
