Autorenporträt

Steve Henry grew up on a farm in the rolling hills of central Kansas, spending much of his youth working under the blue skies of the plains. After earning bachelor's degrees in Marketing and Agricultural Economics at Kansas State University, he served a sentence of seven years in the offices of an insurance company. Missing the outdoor life, he left the insurance company in 1985 to cycle across the continent twice, including one trek from Anchorage, Alaska to Key West, Florida.

In the years following those treks he's organized triathlons and other events, led bicycle and backpack tours, written several articles for cycling publications and outdoor websites, and enjoyed many hiking and camping trips. Steve is the author of 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: St. Louis from Menasha Ridge Press, now in its third edition, and was the author of Mountain Bike! The Ozarks, also from Menasha Ridge Press.

In the late 2000s a chance encounter drew him to southeast Utah. New friends introduced him the beauty found in that landscape's maze of canyons, and the mysterious Anasazi ruins and rock art hidden within this labyrinth lead him back to Utah every year. When he's not camping, hiking, or biking around Missouri, and Arkansas, and Utah Steve sees the country from the driver's seat of a Peterbilt 379.
