Grand Canyon Human History with legendary guide, Glenn Goodrich.

This episode in particular was recorded on a raft while floating
down the Colorado River in the heart of Grand Canyon National Park.
We attached our rafts together & captured the human history
from rim to river in various sections of the river. Learn about
Georgie White, the original river rat & woman who first started
running the river commercially. Listen to stories about John Wesley
Powell's expeditions in 1869 & 1871. Get the full story on the
original river running badass, George Flavell and Ramon Montez who
arrived in Needles in their handmade wooden boat in 1897. This
episode features Glenn Goodrich, a man who has run over 450 rivers
of the world since 1977. Glenn has been guiding since 1977 &
when he is not guiding on the river... he is thoughtfully running
rivers all over the world just for fun! Glenn has made multiple
first descents around the world and doesn't have any plans for
slowing down. Glenn's personal goal is to run 500 rivers before he
retires.
