In his quest to explore the mythic landscapes and secret places of this extraordinary region by foot, raft, rope, camera, and pen over the last 25 years, John has climbed its hallowed mountains, rowed and rafted its wild and scenic rivers, and traced its ancient Indian paths on foot through deep canyons and painted deserts. John has befriended and photographed the region’s Indigenous peoples and ceremonies, Western cowboys and traditions, and Spanish heritage and celebrations.
