Jimmy, extraordinary person and legendary river guide, took very good care of my father and me. After hundreds of trips down Grand Canyon and a lifetime of adventure travel, he has amazing, spectacular, scary, beautiful stories of the Canyon, Alaska, Tanzania, his military service, his EMT work...we can't wait to see the movie!!

Jimmy's work-your-way sidekick Lester, Low Elevation Sherpa (turns out his real name is Paul). Lester toted a huge video camera (and a big still camera) through Grand Canyon and we REALLY want to see his footage! In particular, we dropped him off above Lava Falls, where he hiked down to a good vantage point and then filmed everyone going through the rapids. Lava Falls is the culmination of the Grand Canyon rapids - a giant 37' drop over a couple of hundred yards, and the excitement and anxiety about running Lava Falls brews as the day approaches. We ran it in Jimmy's boat, and we and Trey were the only ones to go right, which is the only possible run at low water but a wild ride at high water. It was AWESOME....
