While driving between Heber, AZ and Overton, NV this summer, I drove by the Schultz Fire that burned on the eastern flank of the San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff. Many homes were evacuated during the fire and they are still dealing with the aftermath of erosion from the fire (monsoon rain-induced landslides and flooding). Here are some shots I took from Hwy 89 looking southwest towards the peaks:
About Me
- Eric Hough
- I am a birder, naturalist, wildlife biologist, and now an interpretive ranger currently working for Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department at the Hassayampa River Preserve near Wickenburg, Arizona. I spent the past several years following a career as a wildlife biologist and was a teaching assistant for a biology lab during grad school, with my education background consisting of an MS in Biology and BS in Forestry. I am an Arizona native and my past travels have taken me around most of the lower 48 United States, plus the state of Sonora in northwest Mexico. Before my current job I spent 1.5 years working as an environmental consultant in the Midwest based out of Kansas City (KS/MO), which gave me the opportunity to see a good portion of the Great Plains and Midwest region. My current travels are decidedly local, but I am hoping to travel abroad in the future when finances and work schedule allow. I am very content with my current career and happy to be doing a mix of environmental education and natural resource management at a wonderful desert oasis. I am looking forward to where this path takes me!
