Exploration, Adventure & Research. John Annerino has spent most of his life exploring the American West and Old Mexico – as a photojournalist, adventurer, and scholar of Southwestern history. Among many explorations by foot, raft, rope, camera, and pen, John has worked as a wilderness educator and guide in Arizona, on the Colorado Plateau, and in northwest Mexico; a heli-tac forest fire crew boss in Alaska and the West; and a white-water boatman on the Colorado, Green and Yampa, and Upper Salt Rivers. Tracing ancient Indian paths, John ran the length of the Grand Canyon by three different routes and recounted his harrowing adventures of historical sleuthing in Running Wild. Those journeys, and later a 750 mile run from Mexico to Utah across daunting Arizona badlands, were the basis for John to lead the first modern crossing of the infamous El Camino del Diablo, "The Highway of the Devil," on foot, mid-summer. John was honored to research and author the National Geographic map, "The Grand Canyon Explored," for National Geographic Adventure. Then he returned to the haunted canyons of his youth to solve the mysterious, 75 year old cold case of gold seeker Adolph Ruth by retracing his fateful footsteps through Arizona's legend-filled Superstition Mountains for the investigative feature, "Dead Man's Tale," » » » » » » » »|
