Peter McBride traveled and photographed the entire Colorado River through seven states and two countries to document his journey with Jonathan Waterman in The Colorado River: Flowing Through Conflict. One of McBride’s challenges was “to find fresh perspectives while focusing on the beauty within the tragedy of such an overtaxed system.” McBride certainly finds that balance. He starts his journey at Snowmass Mountain and ends in Mexico where the Colorado is mostly non-existent. Although the future of the Colorado River seems dire, McBride is optimistic that the delta can be saved. Peter will be interviewed by Colorado Supreme Court Justice, Greg Hobbs, and there will be time for questions.
This book is one of the selections from the Colorado Water 2012 Book Club. Please visit the Book Club Page on the Colorado Water 2012 website for more information on this book and other Book Club selections.

Are you going to take this presentation on the road. I doubt many of us in SW CO will be able to make this presentation, but it would be nice if the presentation could come to us.
Rodney,
Colorado Water 2012 is webcasting the presentation. You can contact Monica Santillanes at 303-824-5356 or msantillanes@cobar.org to RSVP for the webcast. She’ll send you the skinny for connecting.
I’ve viewed a couple of webcasts from the Colorado Bar Association facilities and the sound and video quality is actually pretty good.
You need a good Internet connection however.
Peter McBride has been touring the state a lot this fall. Try http://www.petemcbride.com to find out his schedule.
