Katie Jones

Back Country Guide, Outdoor Leader, Educator

As a graduate of Psychology and Environmental Science and Sustainability, I deeply understand the need for nature connection and believe access to nature is a universal right. My bond with nature began early as a river guide and has been carved through countless hours of appreciating nature through outdoor sports, recreation and education. I've traveled the world in search of strengthening that connection and self-discovery. Along many dirt roads, muddy river eddies and limitless landscapes, I developped a knack for decoding the magic behind how humans connect with nature and my passion is facilitating that. Whether it's peace of mind, or the excitement of a new possibilities in adventure, my guidance will bring you right where you need to be.

The Green Spiral

Symbolizes a collective journey inward—a path of growth, evolution, and deeper connection with ourselves, communities and the natural world. It’s a call to become more mindful of how we live, interact with nature, and contribute to a healthier planet.
