About the author

Ann Weiler Walka is a local writer who lives in Flagstaff. She writes poetry, stories and essays about the landscape, history, and people of the Colorado Plateau. Her writing is very descriptive, and it is often laced with scientific information, especially on the subjects of Ecology and Geology (like the various names of rock strata, sections of geologic time, identification of birds, plants, trees, reptiles, etc… like the info you might find in a guidebook). She gets most of her subject matter from about 40 years worth of hiking, camping, backpacking, and river trips on the Colorado Plateau. She has written for various journals, and magazines, and she has also published two books: Walking the Unknown River (And Other Travels in Escalante Country) which is book of poems and prose about the Escalante River, Glen Canyon, Navajo Mountain, and all of the country in between. Her other book is entitled, Waterlines: Journeys on a Desert River. It is a book of stories and poetry inspired by the landscapes along the San Juan River.
