Guiding

I have held a New York State professional guide license for over ten years, and am a member of the New York State Outdoor Guides Association.

I offer guided backcountry treks in the New York State Adirondack Mountains, as well as in various areas of Montana and Alaska. For guided treks, I supply meals and group equipment such as tents and cooking supplies.  Personal camping gear is the responsibility of the participants; guidelines for the locale and time of year are provided at registration.

Treks in the Adirondacks can be designed with a particular focus on New York history. All treks stress the use of up-to-date, environmentally friendly backcountry travel techniques leave no trace. I have particular expertise in working with youth groups, such as Scout troops.
