The public waits 13 years for a self-guided permit to raft the Colorado River in Grind Canyon while the river awaits Widerness recognition. How did we get in this mess? Hijacking A River tells the story: A pummeled government agency, intransigent businessmen and their political allies, apathetic environmentalists, and disorganized river runners; these are the characters who have made a mess of Colorado River management in Grand Canyon National Park.
