The Best Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Hikes

Morgan Sjogren is a freelance writer and photographer whose storytelling focuses on human powered exploration, outdoor adventures, food for athletes, and public lands. Her first book, The Best Bears Ears National Monument Hikes hit bookshelves in 2018 and was the first guidebook devoted to the original monument boundaries. Her work has been published by REI, Runner's World, Trail Runner Magazine Patagonia, Archaeology Southwest, Sidetracked Magazine, Gear Junkie, Snowsports Industry Association (SIA), and Adventure Pro Magazine. While writing and running are her passions, you can also catch Morgan trying new adventures ranging from ice climbing to canyoneering and cooking up burritos over a campfire or from the back of her Jeep. Morgan is currently based in Northern Arizona, or more accurately, roaming around the southwest.
