Books by Our Staff
We
are proud of the creative work by our staff at the Idaho State
University Outdoor Program. The following book is by our
writer-in-residence and
former director, Ron Watters. Ron has been with the Idaho State
University
Outdoor Program for many years. He puts a lot of tender loving
care
into his books, long hours of research and works hard to make them
visually
appealing, useable, accurate--and fun to read. Co-authoring the
book with Ron is Kathy Daly. Kathy has been very active raising
funds for women's scholarships.

Brief
Description
Finally a book for the rest
of us! There are plenty of books on Idaho rivers for advanced whitewater
river runners, but this book, covering nearly 100 different river segments,
is one that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
Katherine Daly
and Ron Watters were the perfect team to do this book. Experienced river
runners and outdoor writers, they put a lot of loving care into this book.
The maps are works of art: accurate, understandable and usable on
the river. To make the book easy-to-use, they supplemented the text
with symbols which quickly encapsulate the river's difficulty, condition
of access roads, surrounding terrain, and other features of the river.
Mileage
charts are included which are invaluable for pinpointing location while
running the river. And there's information on fishing, wildlife,
seasons, water levels, boat ramps, scenic attractions and much more.
All the rivers in this book can be done in an open canoe, but are also
suitable for kayaks, inflatables, and drift boats.
