River Runners for Wilderness' Rafting Grand Canyon Wiki was cited in a September 30, 2007, Washington Post trip planning guide as a resource for good rafting advice and can be read at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/28/AR20070….
The guide is a companion piece to an article written by Sharon Barrett, which chronicles the river journey of a first-time non-commercial river runner rafting Grand Canyon and can be read at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/28/AR20070…. She muses about safety and clothing issues in the wildly-varying temperatures of Grand Canyon, especially as it applies to her breast prosthesis.
Barrett notes that RRFW's Wiki is "particularly helpful for do-it-yourselfers". The Rafting Grand Canyon Wiki is a free web-based "how-to" guide for all aspectsof river rafting in Grand Canyon. Written by river runners for river runners, the topics include pre- and post-river trip planning information, on-the-river information, the Grand Canyon National Park river runner orientation video, and a resources section. There's also a link to a Yahoo online discussion group ofover 400 river runners at https://rrfw.org/RaftingGrandCanyon/Web-Based_Groups.
New additions to the Wiki include a section on Glen Canyon Dam, human waste disposal after the river trip, and an amazing just-released video called "Carnage at Lava Falls" by Duwain Whitis, linked at: https://rrfw.org/RaftingGrandCanyon/Rapids.
