More About the Author

Born, raised, and still a resident of Rochester, NY, Randi Minetor never imagined she'd be writing about outdoor adventure--in fact, she may still hold her high school's record for skipping the most gym classes in a single year. When she discovered the backcountry wonders of America's national parks in 1992 with her husband, photographer/lighting designer Nic Minetor, that first trip changed her life--and by 2000, the Minetors had pledged to see all 391 (now 397) national parks in their lifetimes. A way to subsidize this passion materialized in 2006, when they began writing and photographing books on the parks for FalconGuides. Today Randi has written 21 books for The Globe Pequot Press, ranging from national park travel to American history to the best day hikes in upstate New York. Another book is in progress. In addition, Randi is the National Parks Examiner on examiner.com.

Randi maintains a business client base as a corporate writing and media relations professional in Rochester. When not writing (and when is she not writing?), she is an avid birder and a contestant in the annual Montezuma Muckrace birding competition in Seneca Falls, NY. (Her team came in third in 2011's Muckrace!) Nic is the resident lighting designer for Eastman Opera Theatre, and provides lighting design to theatre productions at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, as well as to Mercury Opera and Blackfriars Theatre. The Minetors live in a 1917 American Foursquare home in Rochester, to which they are performing a lengthy but satisfying mission/arts and crafts restoration. To date, they have visited 278 national parks.
