"He wore a smile you could see a mile."
(from Robert Service, "The Cremation of Sam McGee")
River "Gods"
River guides are a band of brothers & sisters. An eclectic bunch of "talented misfits", anti-authoritarian and craving adventure. Often, our clients only see our professional sides, poised in the face of the storm. Thus, the moniker "River Gods".
We know better. The stories in River God show who we really are, our fears, frailties, and failures–and our shining moments.

About the author
Jeffe Aronson
I row Dories in Grand Canyon. Best job in the world. Best damn river trip on earth.
I escaped my Chicago Jewish neighborhood young, rebellious and lost, frantic to leave “civilized” far behind. Rivers saved my soul, specifically the one that carved Grand Canyon: The Mighty Colorado.
My love of rivers, spiced with evocative descriptions of the wild places I've been and the wobbly tightrope of life and death, has gripped listeners around campfires and readers on their couches alike. Get lost in the lyrical prose of River God.
A riveting collection of adventure narratives
River God reveals Nature at her
wildest, which, like a woman, is when she is most beautiful. Follow along on a search for the essence of things, a new
tribe. Perhaps, like me, you will feel the beating of your heart through wilderness.
“River
God takes readers places they yearn to glimpse, but dare not go. Hell, you can die out there.”
