Meet Our Guides

We are incredibly proud of our staff of outstanding wilderness guides! We are many things: hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, artists, historians, naturalists, biologists, musicians, explorers, medics. But what we all share in common is a profound love of the outdoors. Our guides spend an average of 150 nights a year in the backcountry leading folks of all ages, backgrounds and abilities on wonderful adventures across the Southwest. In an industry with high turnover, we’re proud of the fact that our guides have been with FSG for an average of seven years! No other guide service in the region can match that level of commitment and we are ever grateful to our staff for coming back year after year.
