High Desert Field Guides

About Us

Dick and Kathryn have lived in the Santa Fe area for several years after moving here from the Midwest.

Kathryn's experience with the Southwest started in 1988 with the first class of docents at the Eiteljorg Museum of the American Indians and Western Art. She was an active guide there for 12 years. She has planned and conducted tours related to the American West, Western Art and the American Indians. Kathryn served for eight years as a docent at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe.

Dick has re-kindled an early interest in archaeology since moving to Santa Fe. He was a volunteer for the Laboratory of Anthropology and is currently a volunteer working on mapping and photography with the Office of Archaeological Studies of the State of New Mexico.

Both Dick and Kathryn are frequent visitors to interesting locations and historic places in New Mexico, the Southwest and seek out experts to write about specific subjects.
