Explorer and author Craig Childs has written over a dozen books featuring the geology, history, and wonders of the desert. In “The Wild Dark,” his adventure takes him from the bright lights of Las Vegas to one of North America’s darkest spots. Traveling by bicycle, Childs measures the diminishing light and shares stories of those he meets along the way. Join us for a livestream Q&A where we discuss his journey, experience as a writer, and more.
