A thrilling true tale of the fastest boat ride ever, down the length of the Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon, during the legendary flood of 1983.
NO REGISTRATION NECESSARY
The Glen Canyon Dam had what may have been the most catastrophic dam failure in history, and the decision to launch a small wooden dory named “The Emerald Mile” at the head of the Grand Canyon, just fifteen miles downstream from the Dam was not just odd, but downright suicidal.
"The Emerald Mile", at one time slated to be destroyed, was rescued and brought back to life by Kenton Grual. Did Grual survive? Just barely.
BYOB! Show off your isolation snacks! PJs optional.
