For those who love white wa ter, the San Juan River is frisky as a colt but free from the high hazards of the Colorado in the Grand.

Canyon, according to Frank Wright of Blinding. Mr. Wright was in Provo re cently to visit another river-lover, Herbert who led a Civil Air Patrol expedition this summer to the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers. Mr. Wright was trained in run ning rapids by the late Norman Neville, famous white-water man, killed a few years ago in a Blind ing aircrash.

Like Neville, he conducts river tours down the brawling San Juan and the 230 rapids of the Colorado through the rand Canyon to Lake Mead. Mr. Wright uses square-ended boats; designed, for rough water by Mr. Neville, which make present day excursions relatively safe. except in a few rapids of the Grand Canyon.

The San Juan, best known for its weaving Goosenecks, is a muddy green when quiet, and red with sandstone In suspension in its flood stages. Its most noted personality trait is Its rolling sand waves, which, sometimes rise in crest to more than a dozen feet. The San Juan drops 7.7 feet per. mile, building up into large, running smooth waves, which break like seawaves. No motors are used on the San Juan, and the rapids boats, blunt- ended at both bow and stern, drift down side wise, for the same reason an' aircraft approaches a mountain ridge obliquely, ready for a fast run out of danger, Is small chance of the boats but the boat can be pinned against, a rock by the force of the and passeng ers have to scramble uron to the rock," says Wright, The Colorado is most dangerous In the rapids of the Grand Can yon.
