The guide's whistle cuts through the pine-scented canyon as the inflatable frame bobs against a polished rock wall; sunlight finds the river in bright strips, and the oars catch it, sending spray that tastes faintly of limestone and cedars. You push off from the narrow launch, and the river—cool and impatient—begins to pull you downstream.
