Before Bob Stevenson was Bob, he was a rock. As Bob, he played in the woods, earned a degree in geology, had fun in the mountains and canyons across North America and Hawaii. He was a park ranger for 36 years (21 at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument), and really enjoys sharing nature with everyone. Sometime in the distant future Bob expects to be a rock again.
