Tracy Ross

Tracy Ross writes about the intersection of people and the natural world, industry, social justice and rural life from the perspective of someone who grew up in rural Idaho, lived in the Alaskan bush, reported in regions from Iran to Ecuador and as a parent of kids growing up during the age of accelerated climate change. Before coming to The Colorado Sun, she was a correspondent for Outside Magazine, an editor at both Backpacker and Skiing magazines, and the author of the critically lauded memoir The Source of All Things, about overcoming child abuse through connection with and adventure in the outdoor world. She is the co-producer of a movie — Hard Miles — based on her Bicycling Magazine story Street Kids, about boys from a school for adjudicated youth in Colorado who she rode to the Grand Canyon with in 2014. She lives in Nederland with her husband, 12-year-old daughter, Hollis, and, occasionally, her two grown sons, Scout and Hatcher.
