I've spent the past 11 years hiking, backpacking, biking and camping in the Sonoran Desert, from the Seri Coast and Reserva de la Biosfera Pinacate in Mexico to the summits of Tucson's Catalina Mountains. Along the way I stopped to take photos and write about the natural and cultural history of area. I hope that sharing my love of the desert will inspire others to help protect what's left of this 120,000-square-mile international desert garden.
