Wayne Ranney, Geologic Interpreter and Author
Ranney has traveled the world as a geologic interpreter aboard ships and jets, as well as on various natural history expeditions. He has been to Antarctica (30 times), the Amazon, the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, the Gobi Desert, the Russian Far East, and the North and South Poles. Although he is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College in Sedona, there’s nothing he enjoys more than teaching in an outdoor classroom. Ranney writes for many magazines — including Arizona Highways, Sedona Magazine, and Earth Magazine — and he has published several books. His latest, Carving Grand Canyon, follows the popular Sedona through Time: Geology of the Red Rocks. Ranney makes Flagstaff his home and enjoys traveling, hiking, river running, and photography — anything that gets him outside in the Arizona countryside.

Wayne Ranney’s passion for Southwest geology took root during his years as a backcountry ranger in the Grand Canyon.
