Michael Engelhard

I work as a wilderness guide in Arctic Alaska and hold an MA in cultural anthropology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. My books include "Where the Rain Children Sleep: A Sacred Geography of the Colorado Plateau," four anthologies of outdoors writing, a recent essay collection, "American Wild: Explorations from the Grand Canyon to the Arctic Ocean," and "Ice Bear: The Cultural History of an Arctic Icon." My writing has also appeared in Sierra, Outside, Audubon, National Wildlife, National Parks, High Country News, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
