Professional Guiding Experience: 7 years

Danielle (Dani) grew up in Connecticut where she spent her childhood days exploring the woods of New England, camping, fishing, and biking. After graduating from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Psychology, Dani made the decision to live out her dream of moving to Colorado. She completely fell in love with the incredible mountains and deserts of the Southwest and quickly committed herself to turning that love into her career. She has been a naturalist in Southwest Colorado, a Wilderness Therapy Guide in Idaho, a Life Skills Mentor/ Adventure Guide in Sedona, AZ, and a Llama Trekking Guide in Northwest Montana. For the past handful of years, she has been a backpacking guide in AZ, UT, WY, ID, and MT. Dani loves to share her passion for exploring wild places with her guests and finds great fulfillment in helping others to experience the backcountry. When not guiding, you can find Dani meeting her friends around the country for an adventure, mountain biking, trying a new recipe, or creating a variety of art.
