Product Description
Yampa Yearnings by award-winning author Eugene Buchanan heralds northwest Colorado's Yampa River, the last remaining free-flowing tributary to the Colorado River Basin that still retains its natural hydrograph. As with David James Duncan's My Story as Told by Water, the book promises to increase awareness for readers' backyard rivers through Buchanan's 30-year relationship with his beloved Yampa in Steamboat Springs. From its headwaters a flycast from the birthplace of the country's wilderness movement to its confluence with the Green 250 miles later in Dinosaur National Monument, the river supports agriculture, municipalities, a world-class ski resort, industry, endangered fish, unique riparian zones, water rights, recreation and more. The author of five books (www.eugenebuchanan.com), Buchanan, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Men's Journal, Outside, National Geographic Adventure and other publications, addresses all this and more, instilling a sense of waterway preservation in everyone who turns its pages.
