Former high desert rancher Ellen Waterston writes of a wild,
essentially roadless, starkly beautiful part of the American West.
Following the recently created 750-mile Oregon Desert Trail, she
embarks on a creative and inquisitive exploration, introducing
readers to a “trusting, naïve, earnest, stubbly, grumpy old man
of a desert” that is grappling with issues at the forefront of
national, if not global, concern: public land use, grazing rights
for livestock, protection of sacred Indigenous ground, water
rights, and protection of habitat for endangered species. Blending
travel writing with memoir and history, Waterston profiles a wide
range of people who call the high desert home and offers fresh
perspectives on nationally reported regional conflicts such as the
Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation. Walking the High Desert invites
readers—wherever they may be—to consider their own beliefs,
identities, and surroundings through the optic of the high desert
of southeastern Oregon.
