Moon USA National Parks: The Complete Guide to All 63 Parks (Moon National Parks Travel Guide) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Becky Lomax grew up hiking, camping, and skiing in Olympic National Park, North Cascades National Park, and Mt. Rainier National Park (where her dad used to serve as a ranger).

During college, she worked summers in Glacier National Park. After she and her husband moved to Montana, she served as a hiking and backpacking guide in Glacier, worked at a ski resort, and began to write about the outdoors. She immerses herself in national parks to hike, bike, backpack, kayak, and find renewal in nature.

Through her writing, she advocates for conserving wild places for their unique attributes. She has written about hiking trails, historic lodges and roads, camping, paddling, skiing, bicycling, wildlife, wildflowers, birds, and climate change. For magazine stories, she has tagged along with biologists into the field to radio collar bighorn sheep and grizzly bears, even touching the sedated bear's claws and smelling its fur to discover its earthy scent.

She has published stories in several national travel magazines including Smithsonian,Backpacker, and AAA. She also authored Moon Glacier National Park, Moon Yellowstone & Grand Teton, Moon U.S. & Canadian Rocky Mountains Road Trip, Moon Best of Yellowstone and Grand Teton, and Moon Best of Glacier, Banff & Jasper.
