My favorite beat at EARTH magazine has always been the Travels in Geology column. Now EARTH has published a collection of travel pieces that includes six of my Travels in Geology features: Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, New Mexico’s Ghost Ranch, Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, California’s Death Valley, Oregon’s Crater Lake and British Columbia’s Burgess Shale. The collection is available for Kindle. One of my photos even made the cover! I don’t get any royalties or proceeds, but it’s nice to see some of my favorite stories all in one place! Go here to check it out.

    Great photos – a pity about lack of remuneration – photos alone deserve more recognition

    Great pictures Mary, I was wondering since like to hike so much, have you thought of looking for Forest Fenn`s treasure over there in New Mexico.

    If you are interested in going to the Burgess Shale, sign up for the Association for Women Geoscientists’ 2014 Canadian Rockies Geology Field trip, Aug. 28-Sept. 7. And – there are many more geology stops on the field trip such as the Canadian front ranges, the Icefields, the Rocky Mountain trench, and Dinosaur Provincial Park. See the AWG website for more details: http://www.awg.org/trips/index.htm.

    Wow… Just came across your blog and I feel like I’ve somehow known you all my life. Truth is we have probably passed one another on some scenic highway, as I too have cris-crossed the American west, always searching for the next vista or adventure… Perhaps one day I will see you and stop to say hello. Until then, travel on… Namaste! …Marty

  13. This is soo good, and just in line with me. Very nice to read your blog and looking forward to follow you! Awesome trilobites!

      Anyone who would like more geoadventures – we have 5 seats left on the Association for Women Geoscientists’ 2014 Canadian Rockies Field Trip – 8/28-9/7. From the Canadian Front Ranges, to the Columbia Icefields, to the Burgess Shale, the Rocky Mountain Trench, and finishing at Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Tyrrell Museum – it will be an amazing geological adventure.
