Watching the River Run Synopsis

Join celebrated author and photographer Tim Palmer as he takes us down one of America's most magnificent rivers. From the Youghiogheny's lofty headwaters to its quiet ending only a dozen miles from Pittsburgh, the river he reveals shines with splendor and beckons to all who walk, bike, paddle, or simply pause to appreciate the natural wonder awaiting those who live nearby or visit from near and far.
A companion to Palmer's earlier book-Youghiogheny: Appalachian River-this elegant photo essay shows us the remarkable beauty of a river that has become enormously popular. With a sharp eye to all things wild, Palmer also presents an engaging narrative and features opportunities for enjoying and exploring Ohiopyle State Park in Pennsylvania, Swallow Falls State Park in Maryland, and elsewhere along this river's rapid descent through America's oldest and most biologically rich range of mountains. Watching the River Run is a book for all who visit and cherish this extraordinary waterway.
