Morten Moore Publishing promotes an interest in the southwest through publications that encourage both visitors and residents to explore the backcountry of Arizona. We currently publish Arizona Trails for Children and Standing Watch: The Fire Towers of Arizona.

Arizona Trails for Children by Eileen Moore is a hiking guide for families, describing over 135 trails throughout Arizona, suitable for both young and mature hikers. Each trail features a specific destination or a unique ecological zone. Families will enjoy exploring the ruins of ancient Native Americans, swimming in natural water holes with sparkling waterfalls, gazing out from high peaks or investigating sheltered canyons. This book has been well received by both children and adults as it provides unique information in exploring the geology, the history and the natural environment of our state.

Standing Watch: The Fire Towers of  Arizona by Eileen Moore introduces readers to the 81 fire towers and cabins across Arizona that are used by fire spotters in their efforts to protect our forests against wildfire. The book details the history of the towers built as early as 1902 to the more modern structures erected as recently as 1984. The book offers profiles of the Civilian Conservation Corp, an Apache Hot Shot crew, and a native fire technician along with a number of lookouts.

Whether readers have just moved to the state or are long time residents, Morten Moore offers books that will challenge and interest those seeking to learn more about Arizona. For more information check the links to each book or proceed directly to our order tab at the top of the screen.
