On the personal side, I wanted to spend more time with family, and also reduce my environmental footprint. There were […]

Those include the national monuments, some of which have been under the most serious threats in our history, as illustrated by the evisceration of two of the largest and […]

In 2017, I limited again my travels, in part because of the demands of the book tour for Treasured Lands. Beyond the great critical reviews, awards, and official state recognition, I am most grateful to all of you who have helped make the book a success.

It felt like I spent half of the 2016 year in a cave, and this is reflected in the image choices for this post. Determined not to go on a single trip before the book was finished, I tried to get out Treasured Lands in time for the National Park Service Centennial. Even after completing […]
