Adventure journalist Morgan Tilton writes about the outdoors with a focus on travel, industry news and human endurance. She is a recipient of multiple North American Travel Journalists Association awards, including two double-award articles, “Wild & Broken: A First SUP Descent of Utah’s Escalante River” and “A Wild Space.” The articles share her first descent on a stand up paddle board of Utah’s wild Escalante River: a self-supported, 100-mile exploration of one of the most remote regions in the lower 48, with four friends. She grew up in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains and works with close to 70 publications.
