Autorenporträt
Clark Norton, author of 100 Things to do in Tucson Before You Die as well as 15 other travel guidebooks, has developed a love for Tucson's warm desert climes after fleeing the snowy winters of upstate New York. Clark's favorite Tucson activities include admiring giant saguaros, gorging on prickly pear tacos, exploring the city's Mex-West heritage, browsing through quirky off-the-beaten-path museums, and tackling not-too-far-off-the-beaten-path hiking trails "" except in the heat of summer, when he may retreat to one of the city's many new craft breweries. His award-winning travel writing has appeared in many major publications and websites, including his blog, clarknorton.com. And, while he has visited more than one hundred and twenty countries, he is always glad to get back to Tucson, where he lives with his wife, Catharine, and two hopelessly spoiled cats, Rocky and Jake.
