Autoren-Profil (2011)

Kathleen Dodge first shouldered a backpack at the tender age of ten when her Dad forced her to walk around the neighborhood with a pack full of encyclopedias to prepare for an overnight outing in Yosemite. From the first heavily-laden step, a love affair was born. A thirst for backcountry adventure has led Kathleen to decades of starry nights in her native California's Sierra Nevada mountains.

When not hitting the trail, Kathleen can be found leading hiking and biking trips around the globe, travel writing, or holed up in an Oakland café with a great book. She has written for Fodor's, Lonely Planet, and Moon, among other publications.
