Stephen Trimble was born in Denver, his family’s base for roaming the West with his geologist father. His 30-year career as a photographer, writer, and naturalist began with his work as a national park ranger. Trimble's twenty books illuminate our relationship with homeland, Indian land, and wildland, including Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography; The Geography of Childhood: Why Children Need Wild Places; The People: Indians of the American Southwest; and The Sagebrush Ocean: A Natural History of the Great Basin.

Trimble has received numerous awards for his photography, his non-fiction, and his fiction—including The Sierra Club’s Ansel Adams Award for photography and conservation and the Utah Humanities Council’s Oswald Fellowship. He lives in Salt Lake City and Torrey, Utah.
