Annette McGivney
A native of Texas, Annette has long been drawn to remote, wild places. She has spent the last fifteen years exploring the desert Southwest and writing scores of articles about her wilderness encounters for Backpacker and other outdoor and environmental magazines. McGivney has been Southwest editor of Backpacker since 1997, and she is the author of Leave No Trace (The Mountaineers Books, 1997). She also teaches journalism and wilderness courses at Northern Arizona University. Her most recent book, Resurrection: Glen Canyon and a New Vision for the American West was the result of years of research and exploration in the area.
McGivney’s favorite hiking destinations include the Grand Canyon and the canyons of southern Utah. She lives in Flagstaff, Arizona with her son Austin, who did his first rim-to-river hike in the Grand Canyon at age four.
