October 15th at 2:00 p.m. – Doug Tims presents, “Selway: The Original Wild and Scenic River”
Strap on your backpack, tighten your life jacket and join Doug Tims on a journey to the mystical environs of the only river and watershed in America to receive instant recognition in law as both wilderness and wild and scenic. A quarter of a century of sharing the Selway with the public and years of research has given him an understanding of what this wild river means to us and a few stories of wilderness misadventure to share.
Doug Tims spent twenty-seven years as a professional river outfitter on two of America’s most storied wild rivers — Idaho’s Middle Fork of the Salmon and the Selway — before turning his decades of experience into two landmark books on the history of Idaho’s backcountry. Both of his books, Selway and Merciless Eden, are carried in our museum bookshop.
