Arizona River Stories: Laura Fallon
In the dog days of summer in Arizona, many people escape the heat for a float down the river. Most return home with a good story. In Flagstaff, river guides often take great pride in the craft of weaving a good yarn.
In our series, "Arizona River Stories," we'll hear tales from five of these storytellers.
Laura Fallon had a theater career in New York when she went on a river trip in the Grand Canyon more than 15 years ago. Guides on the trip convinced her she should work with them. So she came back and has been guiding ever since.
Fallon shares her experience "going big" with well-known political columnist Molly Ivins, who had gathered a group of friends to raft down the Canyon as a final hurrah to celebrate her final session of chemotherapy.
