Inverse marketing. That’s good. That’s what someone wrote in the comments on my last post. I said I didn’t like to do marketing but I never even announced on my blog I released a new book. That’s pretty bad.
So… I released a new book on adventures in the Southwest, available on Amazon.
Fifty Classic Adventures in the Southwest is a guidebook for people who would rather be doing something than reading about it.
From hiking Angel’s Landing to rafting the Grand Canyon, it covers the iconic classics — but it also leads you to the adventures most guidebooks miss: scrambling into a glowing Zebra Slot Canyon, flat-water kayaking the Colorado River at Horseshoe Bend, or descending 90 feet into the darkness of Goblin’s Lair.
Fifty Classics is organized around adventure hubs — Moab, Escalante, Kanab, and the Grand Canyon — so you can base yourself in one place and strike out into the surrounding wilderness.
The adventures reach into some of the most celebrated landscapes on Earth: The Mighty 7 National Parks — Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Grand Canyon, and Grand Staircase-Escalante — plus hidden gems in state parks and BLM land that rarely make the tourist brochures.
This is not just another hiking book. The fifty adventures include:
- Epic day hikes and multi-day backpacking
- Mountain biking and e-biking on legendary slickrock trails
- Canyoneering and canyon scrambling
- Peak scrambles with panoramic summit views
- Whitewater river rafting and flat-water kayaking
- Guided journeys into canyons
Every adventure has been done firsthand and rated Easy, Moderate, Challenging, or Difficult — so whether you’re looking for a gentle stroll through towering canyon walls or a full-day push to a desert summit, there’s something here with your name on it.
