Backpacking Instructors

Jim Garry, M.S. (Coyote and Raven: Two Full of Facts and Folklore; Northeast Corner Backpack Expedition: Cooke City to Gardiner the Hard Way; Day Hiking Yellowstone: Following Native American Trails; Day Hiking Yellowstone: Literary Trails; Bears: Folklore and Biology; The Bison of Yellowstone ; Day Hiking the Wild Yellowstone: Northern Range Area ; Fall on the Northern Range ; Yellowstone's Winter Serengeti) is a naturalist and folklorist who works in the area where natural history, human history, folklore, and myth overlap—the rich soil that grows stories. He’s spent a good bit of the last four decades in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, collecting stories from people and critters. His books include This Ol’ Drought Ain’t Broke Us Yet and The First Liar Never Has a Chance.
