I’m thrilled to share this new piece I wrote for Garden & Gun magazine about exploring New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness — the world’s first designated wilderness area and the setting of my new novel, Wolvers. A land of stony pinnacles, cliff dwellings, ancient pictographs, and the most endangered gray wolf subspecies: the Mexican wolf or “lobo.”
The story includes a climb to the 9970-foot summit of Bearwallow Mountain on my 40-year-old dirt bike, where I met a legend of a fire lookout, Rázik, who’s served in the Gila for 35 years! I’ve included some bonus photos of that particular adventure below.
