She subsequently hiked and rafted portions of the canyons  increasingly sharing her love of the Colorado River with friends and acquaintances. At first establishing a part-time guide service as a way to support her own river trips  she went on to become perhaps the canyons best-known river guide  introducing their rapids to many others-on the river  via her large-capacity rubber rafts  and across the nation  via magazine articles and movies. Georgie Clark saw the river and her sport change with the building of Glen Canyon Dam  enormous increases in the popularity of river running  and increased National Park Service regulation of rafting and river guides. Adjusting  though not always easily  to the changes  she helped transform an elite adventure sport into a major tourist activity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946810503221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0874212340","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780874212341_bff3eb1e-1fef-4c9f-a097-148f52a80fc9.jpg?v=1770142844","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/woman-of-the-river-georgie-white-clark-whitewater-pioneer","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
