Hit the Trail | Phantom Ranch, Grand Canyon and the Southwest

Description

About the Author

Working as a park ranger at Phantom Ranch, Cottonwood Camp, and Indian Gardens, my duties included emergency medical services, trail patrols, law enforcement, search and rescue, interpretive ranger talks, and last but not least, providing encouragement for exhausted hikers. After years of working as a Grand Canyon National Park backcountry ranger and then as a field instructor for the Grand Canyon Field Institute, I decided to share some of the things I've learned while working with the public and during my own backpacking experiences. So often while working in the canyon, I would see people having the worst time of their lives in one of the most glorious places on earth! And with just a little more knowledge and preparation, they could actually be having a good time. I know that's a radical concept, but stick with me. I'll do my best to prove it to you!

To say I'm an outdoor enthusiast is a major understatement! I live for the wilderness. I've always worked to supply my habit and have been very fortunate to have made the outdoors my workplace.

I love to share my experiences and feel very privileged when I'm able to watch the emergence of a self-confident, competent person that often happens after backpacking in the Grand Canyon. It's like watching a butterfly emerge from a cocoon. Many people share my feeling that you cannot come to the canyon without feeling an incredible impact on your personal life.
