Herein is the remarkable story of a 200 mile wilderness journey down the Gila River of New Mexico and Arizona. Travelling partly on foot, mostly by canoe, the author was accompanied by a hound dog and a tomcat. His trip is replete with whitewater thrills, and angling for trout, bass and catfish; ruminations on the wilderness ethic, and the antics of two companions who promote all of humor, exasperation and love. But besides being a modern day excursion into the natural world, Gila Descending is a personal odyssey as well; and little by little that story, too, is told.
