But Tim Palmer does, and with this book he will enrich your time on these waters as nothing else can.--Ed Gertler, author of Keystone Canoeing Lyrical and informative, this glorious account of nature in the mountains of Pennsylvania and Maryland captivates readers with its account of a spectacular river. Tim has written a book that's essential to understanding the Youghiogheny River, Ohiopyle State Park, and the environment of our entire Appalachian region.--Paul Wiegman, retired senior naturalist, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy Tim Palmer brilliantly captures the Youghiogheny's riffling and whitewater journey through our scenic Laurel Highlands.
