The Columbia and its tributaries are rivers of conflict. Amid pitched battles over the economy, the environment, and breaching dams on the lower Snake River, the salmon that have always quickened these rivers are disappearing. On a warm day in late May, Mike Barenti entered the heart of this conflict when he slid a whitewater kayak into the headwaters of central Idaho's Salmon River and started paddling toward the Pacific Ocean. This account of his two-month, nine-hundred-mile solo journey into the world of the Columbia basin plunges us into the adventure of navigating these troubled waterways.

Please join us Sunday, June 29th from 1:00-3:00pm as we welcome Mike Barenti as he signs copies of his exciting book, detailing his journey, Kayaking Alone: Nine Hundred Miles from Idaho's Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.

"Mike Barenti's Kayaking Alone carried me like a river, but this is no passive traveler's tale. Barenti's knowledge of the Northwest makes this journey as intellectually engaging and rewarding as it is physically adventurous. In taking you down the river, this beautiful book takes you deep into narratives of humanity and nature -- and reminds you that they flow as one story."
-Jonathan Johnson, author of Hannah and the Mountain
