Georgie White


Georgie White female river guide

Georgie White Clark (1911-1992) is credited as being the first woman to row the Grand Canyon. Some people believe her to be Bessie Hyde from the notorious Honeymoon Couple who disappeared on the Colorado River in 1928. She was an iron-nerved mermaid and a wore a leopard-skin leotard (to hide her engine grease stains). We have a Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat named after her that runs the Colorado River in Cataract Canyon.
