Writer - Photographer

Becky Lomax writes from Columbia Falls, Montana, where she specializes in the celebrating the outdoors. On foot, skis, and bike, she pursues stories of discovery, seasoned with the voice of experience. For 20 years, she has authored guidebooks on national parks for Moon Travel Guides. Her magazine and online stories have covered birding, historic ski lodges, alpine hiking trails, new bike paths, backpack adventures, and kayaking. She particularly enjoys tagging along with wildlife researchers, documenting their in-the-field discoveries, and sharing her love of national parks. 

​

Her photographs have appeared in books, magazines, and newspapers. Her photography has been published in national journals such as Smithsonian, Cross Country Skier, and Camping Life and regional publications such as Montana Magazine, Montana Outdoors, Northwest Travel, Flathead Living, and several newspapers.

 

Her solid writing background includes teaching writing classes, coaching writers through their first books, and editing manuscripts for publication. But more than the writing credits, she was raised hiking, camping, skiing, and backpacking and her family had anchors to the Washington national parks. Later her work in the outdoor industry at a ski resort and as a hiking and backpacking guide in Glacier National Park gave her the perspective for what newcomers to parks and the outdoors need to know.

 

She has also made appearances on television, radio, podcasts, and social media chats. She has been interviewed for magazines, newspapers, and webzines.
