Q2. Ed Abbey can be argued is the John Muir of the Desert. Who else is a figure of the desert that has captured your attention? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A2 Georgia O’Keeffe’s art definitely captures both the beauty and raw parts of the desert. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A2 #parkchat I am apparently very uneducated when it comes to desert figures! No clue.

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A2) Hmm, there's Ansel Adams & Georgia O'Keefe for their respective photos and paintings but don't discount John Muir because he's a key figure behind the Petrified Forest as well. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A2: Without question, my answer is @TempestWilliams. I especially recommend her books Red and An Unspoken Hunger as exceptional desert writings. And we have the benefit of her living voice now. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A2 #parkchat I’d pick @CraigChilds_. Got the chance to bring him to some petroglyphs sites and pueblo ruins in Agua Fria National Monument many moons ago, and remain infatuated with his writings.
