From the Collection: The Warm Springs Rapid history project consists of materials related to the preparation of a special research trip for June 2-6, 2008 for the purpose of bringing together as many of the people who were there at Warm Springs in June of 1965 as possible. Roy Webb, the river historian from the University of Utah, has teamed up with Jack Schmidt of Utah State University, noted geomorphologist, as co-researchers. A representatives from Dinosaur National Monument would be involved along with members of the Wendt-Julian party that was camped at Warm Springs the afternoon of June 6th when the flashflood that created the current rapid occurred as well as the boatmen from Hatch, Western River, Holiday River Expeditions, and others who were anywhere on the river in the Monument at that time.
