Rafting the River of Time [VHS]
In this 2000 Emmy award winning video, you will raft the Black Canyon of the Colorado 12 miles down river and millions of years back in time. Take in the unforgettable views from the base of Hoover Dam and follow the history of its construction through the film and pictures of the period. Let the ancient river carry you out of the long shadow of this great monument to human ingenuity into a world of even greater monuments created by nature. Discover the plants that survive this harsh environment through ingenious adaptations of their own, the animals that have outlived the attempts of Native Americans, explorers, and pioneers to tame the canyon, and the violent and mysterious story of the rocks that rule over all.

Review by David Bert for Rafting the River of Time [VHS]
Rating:
I really thought this would be just about river rafting, but this goes much further. It’s like a PBS program about the history and geology of Black Canyon below Hoover Dam. And (oh yeah) it has good rafting stuff too. It is beautifully photographed and wonderfully written. I learned a lot.
