Informazioni sull'autore: Growing up in rural Maine, Tom Moulin gained an appreciation for the outdoors at an early age. At 15, he skipped a semester of high school and hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. In lieu of schoolwork, he was assigned to observe, identify, and write about the species of plants he encountered along the trail.The practice of careful observation has continued into his adult life and mixes with a healthy dose of patience and attention to detail, traits he needed for the long hours of studying required to receive above average marks in college, since he was not an especially gifted student. In 2002, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and came to Las Vegas for an engineering job, knowing that Red Rock, a world-class rock climbing destination, was only minutes away. After working for a few years, he decided that rock climbing was of more interest than engineering and pursued other job options that allowed him free time to explore Red Rock. During these years of exploration, he stumbled upon traces of history, learned about the plants and animals, came to know the geology, and asked plenty of questions.The Red Rock Canyon Visitor Guide is a product of those explorations and questions. The author hopes it will enhance others' appreciation of the natural treasure we have so close to Las Vegas.
