About Bill Belknap:

A native of New York State, Bill Belknap was born with an incurable interest in everything Indian. He moved west at an early age and spent every possible moment at Grand Canyon and with the Hopi Indians. It was here that he me Frances Spencer, his future bride and life-long partner.

In 1969, Bill’s son Buzz enlisted his father’s help to create the first Grand Canyon River Guide. That teamwork led to the establishment of a family publishing company, Westwater Books, which continues to produce this Guide and others for river runners today.


Together with Fran and daughter Loie Belknap Evans, Bill also ran Fastwater Expeditions, a river company that offered full-participation Sporyak trips on the Green, San Juan, and Dolores Rivers.
