Description
Explore Arizona's northern tiny desert towns with lyrical journalist Karen Biddle as she rafts the Colorado River from Page at Glen Canyon Dam where Colorado River Water roams its way to the Grand Canyon. See slot canyons and whole canyons where wave runners find their way and helicopters land on House Boats there. Meet history in cave talk of native peoples and hear Indian Maiden Little Eagle, Howling Wolf Dog Moon Song and Great Bird as they discuss the travels of man along famous waters leading to this great new world. Discover secrets of brave settlers of the Great Southwest. Read about Rocky Mountain Folk as they fry up fresh water Trout for breakfast. Cruise by shepherding dogs on lazy roads of Navajo Red Rock Reservation. Hear talk of fly fishermen's paradise in Marble Canyon and find ghosts in copper mining town of Old Jerome where winds whisper secrets to the hearts of wanderers. See tiny desert rodeo children gather in Willow's Creek in Page Springs on the way to old Victorian Wild West Town Prescott and discover Yellow of the Southwest as it draws Searching Souls, gifted painters and sculptors to Sedona's mecca of European travelers and art collectors. Opera stars have been known to sing among cliff rocks in rocky churches along Oak Creek Canyon where water fountains are created by locals. You might like to find the Four Directions and your place in their folklore among vibrant blue sky and misty rain showers. Gurgling creeks reveal their language to rocks along meandering streams where poets have found their calling, New York City financiers evolving into craftsmen and jewelry makers of carved silver and unique gold expressions. Find a crazy, wild spirit of self discovery and poetic babblings among Golden Suns on desert ponds with darting lizards and waltzing quail. You might find Whispers of the Wind on shores of Babbling Waters. Might take up a paint brush, fishing pole, wave runner or canoe. And after all this time, might find your own self 'round there. You never know.
