Selway tells the remarkable story of one of America’s most iconic and protected rivers. Author Doug Tims explores the Selway’s natural history, its first documented descent in 1960, and the conservation efforts that secured its place as one of the original Wild and Scenic Rivers.

Product Details

Doug presents a compelling and intimate portrait of the Selway, drawn from 25 years of guiding clients down the river as a licensed outfitter.
The book details the political movements that created both the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968.
The Selway River is the only river to have been originally protected under both acts at the time of their founding.
Thanks to this long history of protection and the river’s remarkably untouched quality, the Selway is one of few rivers that provides vast, unbroken habitat for fish and wildlife.
The book explores pioneer settlement history in the Selway watershed, and includes stories from Doug’s many years as a licensed Selway River outfitter with over 100 trips on the river.
