  • Clear Skies in the Desert
    By Chris Clarke on 2009 10 02 at 5:54:56 pm | 4 comments

    There’s a lot of superficial reporting coming out of Indian Country in northern Arizona this week, with headlines like “Hopi to Environmentalists: Keep Out” emblazoned upon them. The immediate reason is that the Hopi Tribal Council has specifically

    About me

    I'm a natural history and environmental writer, an editor and photographer. I've lived in upstate New York, the SF Bay Area, Washington, DC, the Mojave Desert, and Los Angeles. My writing has appeared in publications ranging from Camas and Orion to Bay Nature, California Wild, the Boston Globe, and about thirty daily papers nationwide when I was a syndicated garden writer for the Knight-Ridder chain. No, I never got to meet the talking car.

    I've traveled extensively in the Mojave, Great Basin and Sonoran deserts, as well as in the steppes and slickrock country of the Colorado Plateau.

    About Coyote Crossing

    This blog has existed in one form or another since 2003. At first it was called Creek Running North, after Pinole Creek, near where I lived back then. I moved in 2008 and renamed the site Coyote Crossing, but about a thousand people* still link here under the old name.

    My publicist tells me I should mention that my writing here has frequently been called the best on the Internet.

    * May not actually equal 1000
