N2  - Traces the forty-three-day journey of pioneering botanists Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter, who in the summer of 1938, set out to catalogue the plant life of the Grand Canyon. Recounts the obstacles they faced from misogynistic doubters and the Colorado River's dangerous rapids, their successful endeavor to painstakingly identify all the plant species in the canyon, and the trip's legacy for future conservation efforts in the region
