I am Bear Gallagher Cole the Wild West Explorer. I am an Author, Web Professional, and Musician. I Explore and write about my Outdoor Adventures. As I explore I journal, photograph, and film as much as possible. You can keep up with my by visiting my site @ WildWestExplorer.com .

I was born and raised in the Grand Canyon National Park. I attended K-12 school inside the park. I made my first trip to the bottom at 6 weeks old, and since then have been to the bottom over 100 times. My childhood created an adventurous explorer's mentality inside of me.

I left the park to attend college in Phoenix at Arizona State University, and had a goal in mind to become a writer. A rough thing to do for a U of A Wildcat's fan, but I made it work. My plans changed as they always do and I had a successful career in Music and Audio. I played soccer internationally for the USA, I have released 12+ albums, I was a DJ and roadie for the Rolling Stones. I now pursue my dream to write and motivate others.
