About the Author

Dave Nally, age 48, has lived in Ivins, Utah from the beginning of the 21st century, after stepping down from a decade long career in the high-tech software industry in northern Utah. After beating cancer nearly a decade ago, he came to realize that life is much too short and evanescent, and that living life to its fullest potential is the ultimate experience. He dabbles with creating music, photography, and stock investments. But mostly, he enjoys any kind of adventure that takes place in the great outdoors. In 2012, he was a participant in the award-winning documentary film--The Last of the Great Unknown--which deals with expedition-style slot canyon explorations and first descents in the Grand Canyon. In 2003, he authored Hiking and Biking in the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve.
