About the Author:

Richard Mangum was born in Flagstaff and from childhood has enjoyed getting out into the woods, canyons, hills and mountains surrounding his birthplace. After graduating from Flagstaff High School he got a law degree and practiced law in Flagstaff until 1976, when he became a Superior Court Judge. He retired from the judgeship to devote full time to writing in 1993. "It's what I always wanted to do," he says. Sherry Mangum has lived in Flagstaff since she was seven years old. She went on her first hike when she was six weeks old and has been hiking ever since. She inherited her love for photography from her parents, both professionals. Her work has been seen in local to international publications since 1978. This award-winning team work together researching and doing the hikes. Dick then does the writing and maps while Sherry produces the photos. Through their famous guides and histories (nine to date) of northern Arizona the Mangums have gained a reputation for producing books that are clear, user-friendly and reliable.
