Tim Ernst, ‘73<br />

Former Student<br />

Active in youth athletics and exploring the woods around his house, Tim Ernst graduated<br />

from <strong>Fayetteville</strong> High School in 1973. He attended the University <strong>of</strong> Arkansas and was<br />

a member <strong>of</strong> the Razorback swim team. However, his twin loves <strong>of</strong> photography and the<br />

woods lured him away from completing his college degree, leading him to become,<br />

without formal training, one <strong>of</strong> America's premiere wilderness photographers and hiking<br />

experts.<br />

Founder <strong>of</strong> the Ozark Highlands Trail Association and contributing over 15,000<br />

volunteer hours himself, Ernst is the single person most responsible for completion <strong>of</strong><br />

the 165-mile Ozark Highlands Trail.<br />

Ernst has published twelve hiking guides and three books <strong>of</strong> wilderness photographic<br />

art. He has published photographs in hundreds <strong>of</strong> publications nationwide, including<br />

National Geographic, Outside, Audubon, and Southern Living. Ernst has twice been<br />

recognized by the White House for meritorious stewardship <strong>of</strong> America's natural and<br />

cultural resources.
