Yellowstone continues to shape the way I travel, the way I write, and the way I pay attention. Here you’ll find postcards, practical guides, and reflections gathered over decades of returning to America’s first national park.

Waking Up in the Wilderness is a Yellowstone travel memoir shaped by four decades of returning to one of America’s most iconic landscapes—and learning to see it differently each time.

Yellowstone has a way of teaching—and rewarding—attention. This book is an invitation to notice what is easily overlooked, to understand why it matters, and to discover how wilderness can quietly shape a life.
