Our guides bring their passion for excellence and curiosity about the natural world to every tour, and awaken our guests’ love for our dramatic environment with their thoughtful and detailed guidance. Some of our guides go back with us for decades, some are eager and energetic recruits to our adventure, but all are well- trained professionals who prioritize safety and enjoyment for all our guests.
