What To Expect
Do you want to learn about the plants, animals and fungi of the Rocky Mountains while going on a scenic hike? This is your chance to get outside with an avid guide and forager with over a decade of experience teaching and guiding in the outdoors.
We will start with introductions at the trailhead, then proceed to hike and identify plants, animals, fungi and more as we go!

My goal is for you to feel more empowered to connect with nature, find your own food and wildcraft your own medicine, or at the very least impress your friends on your next hike!
