National Geographic Fishing and River Map Guide 2304 is a 44 page waterproof booklet mapping 56 miles of the Arkansas River in Colorado from Salida to Cañon City.

What it's for

Use this map guide to plan fishing and whitewater trips on the Arkansas below Salida. The river drops 1,700 ft over this stretch through the high desert canyons known together as Bighorn Sheep Canyon and the Royal Gorge. Canyon sections run from Salida to Howard, Coaldale to Lone Pine, and Texas Creek to Parkdale, with more open terrain between them. The publisher describes the Royal Gorge as a Class IV+ chasm that can only be reached by boat. Arkansas River fly fishing guide Greg Felt wrote the introduction and the fishing strategies.
