Ask anyone what travel locations are on their bucket list, and they’ll probably tell you places they learned about in an article or on social media. My passion for exploring new places has taken me all over the world, as both a working journalist and a solo traveler. From a month-long solo trip around New Zealand to hiking the red rock canyons of the Southwest, I’ve learned how to really experience an area, rather than just visiting the well-known tourist sites. I love sharing what I’ve learned with other travelers.
My travel writing and photography have been published in magazines including AAA Midwest Traveler, EARTH Magazine, Boca Raton Magazine, and Our State: Celebrating North Carolina. I’m also the author of a full-color guidebook, Utah Canyon Country: 20 Must-See Sites and Short Hikes, which won a gold medal in the 2019 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Awards.
This author has done a great job of research regarding the stories and history relevant to these places, and that’s what sets this book far above others written about the Canyonlands.
