Autorenporträt
Rocky Shockley is not a nickname; it is his given name. Leaving Oklahoma for Colorado at a young age, he developed a passion and curiosity for hiking and exploring the rocky paths of the Pikes Peak Region. He enjoys finding, researching and sharing the overlooked relics that are found on his trail hikes.Rocky's years of hotel management experience sharpened his communications skills and developed his love of the tourism industry. Telling the stories of the early history of Colorado Springs is a favorite pastime. He prefers trails that have a history, a story, and discoveries to be found along the way. Rocky is a Certified Interpretive Guide with the National Association of Interpretation. He volunteers his time leading aweekly Guided Nature Hike in the Garden of the Gods, and is on the board of directors for the Friends of Garden of the Gods.Rocky's second career is a professional hiking guide with a historical focus in the Pikes Peak region. This is a perfect fit as he has explored the area most of his life. His stories are told with energy and enthusiasm that showcases his knowledge of historic trails and the pieces of the past found along the way. Rocky's favorite quote is: Hike with your senses. Rocky will often encourage others to stop along the way, to absorb the aroma of the pines, listen to the sounds. To pause to feel the geology of the region that both drew and hindered the prospectors and the pioneers. Rocky regularly chronicles his discoveries in his blog site: Exploring the Lesser Known Pikes Peak Region. (www.6100feet.com)
