About the Author

Susan Marsh is an award-winning writer living in Jackson, Wyoming. She retired from the U.S. Forest Service after thirty years as a wild land steward. After growing up in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, she worked as a geologist, forest manager and naturalist in wild places throughout the western U.S. With a background in natural science, she has integrated her love of our precious public land with her love of writing to produce several other books, including War Creek, A Hunger for High Country, The Wild Wyoming Range, and Stories of the Wild. Known for her intimate knowledge of the national forest surrounding Jackson Hole, she has introduced many others to its wonders through field trips and workshops. She led the recreation and wilderness program for the Bridger-Teton National Forest between 1988 and 2010, and spent many days working and playing in Cache Creek, the subject of her book. Between 2011 and 2015 she spent over four hundred days in Cache Creek to take photographs and gather information used in the book.

Reviews

"Susan Marsh doesn't simply walk in the outdoors-she absorbs it, she becomes part of it. Moreover, she can write about what she knows and what she feels. A book to appreciate." -Bert Raynes, author, naturalist, and founder of the Meg and Bert Raynes Wildlife Fund "Remarkable talents come together in this beautiful, graceful book." -Frances Clark, professional botanist "For a curious naturalist, this book is dead on with understandable answers to many questions." -Beverly Boynton, mountaineer & Arctic expedition leader
