Have you ever stood on the bank of a creek or river and considered what lies upstream? Have you gazed into the flow, contemplated its journey, and grown curious about what secrets the drainage might hold?

Searching Salmon Falls tells the story about a series of treks that enables the author to witness a slice of the watershed-from the creek's finish in Idaho to its source in a remote Nevada wilderness. The excursions pass through a variety of terrain shaped by events that range from ancient volcanoes, flood waters, and a recent landslide or two. The narrative is also a tale of humanity that includes the area's first inhabitants, early explorers and settlers, and a few current residents.

Traveling mostly alone but sometimes in the company of his wife, the outings consist of more than an inventory of the region's unique resources. They are a celebration of wild landscapes offering few trails, the chance to embrace solitude, and the means to build a connection with the natural world.
