Jon Waterman has sought out an unconventional adventurer’s path since he was a teenager. As a lifelong environmentalist and writer, he has specialized in immersive journeys—often to the North—to develop a sense of place and then share the beauties, cultures, and fragilities of imperiled parts of the world. His wide-ranging expeditions include a winter ascent of the Cassin Ridge on Denali, kayaking the Northwest Passage, dogsledding into and up Canada’s Mount Logan, sailing to Hawaii, and boating the Colorado River from source to sea. He has worked as a director of a small press, an editor, a naturalist, a park ranger, a wilderness guide, a photographer, and a filmmaker. Among his many publications, Jon’s work has appeared in The New York Times, Wild Bird, Outside, Men’s Journal, Adventure, and Sailing World. His sixteen books include In the Shadow of Denali, Kayaking the Vermilion Sea, and the National Geographic Atlas of the National Parks. By taking risks and tackling difficult issues, his narratives transcend traditional outdoor yarns and have garnered numerous awards, including a Literary Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts, three Best Adventure Book Awards from the Banff Book Festival, an Emmy, a National Park Service Special Achievement Award, and the Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award. He lives in Carbondale, Colorado. Jon Waterman has sought out an unconventional adventurer’s path since he was a teenager.
