Summary: fascinating journey through the Nahanni River
Review: The Nahanni River, with its surrounding National Park, is one of Canada's truly great and unspoiled wilderness areas. This book takes us on a narrative journey through the varied and spectacular course of the Nahanni.

Perhaps no one knows the Nahanni better than author Neil Hartling. Living in the Yukon and operating adventure tours of the area, he is a wonderful story teller equally concerned with publicizing and protecting this pristine area.

This book touches on many disciplines. The geological formation of the area with its canyons and waterfalls is described in detail. The folklore and history as well as environmental concerns for the future are powerfully told.

For those interested in sport and adventure canoeing this is a grand story of one of the world's prime and elusive venues. The color photos of the majestic Nahanni landscapes will delight anyone who appreciates natural beauty.
