Weber Pathways' annual author event will be Friday, March 30th, 2012 at the Timbermine Restaurant featuring nature writer Peter Stark. A Montana resident, Stark is a frequent contributor to Outside Magazine. His most recent book is The Last Empty Places: A Past and Present Journey Through the Blank Spots on the American Map. The book narrates his family's exploration of four locations which showed the least light on a night photo of the continental U.S.-thus the last empty places.   Stark is also the author of Last Breath, At the Mercy of the River, and Driving to Greenland.

Weber Pathways will also present "Trail Blazer" Awards to one individual and one organization for the outstanding contribution that each has made to the development of Weber County's trail system.
