Dal risvolto di copertina interno

The Stikine River, called the Great River by the region s Tlingit people, cuts through coastal Southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia. Formed eons before the last ice age, the river s glaciers and snow-capped peaks still bear witness to that remote time. Its waters have freighted aboriginal peoples, Russian fur traders and gold stampeders aboard majestic sternwheelers. Today, the Stikine River enjoys a growing reputation as a world-class paddling destination and an unparalleled scenic wildlife attraction. This is a sweeping look at a pristine wilderness the size of Switzerland. Roll On! Discovering the Wild Stikine River surveys the region s natural and human history in a panoramic exploration of one of North America s last untamed rivers.
