Rafting the Snake: A Journey Through the Yukon's Snake River Wilderness - Hardcover

"I am not a rugged adventurer, and this is not the story of a journey that you could never do. I brought only a reasonable degree of fitness to the Snake, a camera at the ready, and an open mind."

Experience the beauty and wonder of Canada's North through the reflections and photography of Werner J. Becker. He-along with his wife and two teenage grandchildren-embarked on a two-week rafting tour of the Snake River Valley, starting not far from the river's source and ending at its mouth on the Peel River. From breathtaking views of majestic Mount Macdonald to a thundering waterfall and raging rapids, this wilderness adventure is artfully captured in photos and prose. Along the way, stories of natural and human history are shared, giving depth and context to the narrative.

A celebration of the beauty of the Yukon and a love letter to Canada's North, Rafting the Snake is a timely encouragement for the protection of the environment and our planet. It shows the interconnectedness of humans and nature and makes a strong case for preserving our northern wilderness.
