Andie Cornish

Profession:

Outdoor Educator | Professional Trail Runner

Hi, I’m Andie! I grew up in Jackson, Wyoming, with the Tetons as my backyard and playground. I now travel the world as a professional trail runner and elite ski mountaineer—chasing big peaks, wild trails, and the kind of exhaustion that leaves you deeply fulfilled.

I studied environmental science at the University of Vermont and now work with the Teton Backcountry Alliance as a Teton Pass Ambassador, promoting responsible recreation, assisting backcountry users, and supporting rescue efforts. From racing in Switzerland to ski-touring in Norway and biking across Utah, I love helping people push themselves while staying safe, grounded, and joyful in the outdoors.

Christine Kesser

Profession:

Park Ranger | Active Guide

The outdoors has shaped who I am. I fell in love with wild spaces at 16, climbing my first real mountain in New Hampshire, and I’ve been chasing that connection ever since—from summiting Denali to meditating in Bali.

I’ve guided in Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Denali, and Rocky Mountain National Parks, served as a ranger in Arches and Canyonlands, and written everything from Falcon trail guides to Nat Geo map descriptions. I bring both deep field knowledge and a thoughtful, human approach to planning.

Whether you’re a solo traveler, part of a multi-generational family, or training for your next big adventure, I’m here to listen, encourage, and help you feel ready for whatever the trail brings. I also teach yoga and coach wellness, which helps me meet people wherever they are.

When I’m not guiding, you’ll find me writing, baking, or curled up with a book and my yellow lab, Nala.

Maria Lally

Profession:

National Park Ranger | Professional Guide

Hi, I'm Maria! I got my start in the outdoors the same way a lot of people do—family trips to national parks. But it wasn’t until I hiked to Vernal Falls in Yosemite that I realized how much I loved it. That first hike led to thousands more, and eventually, a career as a Park Ranger and outdoor educator at some of the country’s most iconic national parks, including Glacier, Grand Canyon, and Rocky Mountain. If you’re planning a national park trip and need help navigating seasonal conditions, permits, trail choices, or even picking which park to visit, I’ve got you covered.

Cameron Giammalva

Profession:

Professional Guide

Hi, I’m Cameron! For me, the best way to connect with a place is to move through it—whether that’s hiking, cycling, or even a long city walk that turns into an adventure of its own. I’ve been guiding and exploring for over a decade, and my favorite trips always come down to the same thing: finding the perfect balance between effort and awe.

I connect to new places through the outdoors—whether it’s hiking a national park, cycling the countryside, or just walking through a city. With years of experience exploring and guiding across New Zealand, Croatia, the U.S., and beyond, I love helping people plan active adventures that go beyond the usual routes. If you’re heading to New Zealand’s South Island, the Dalmatian Coast, or iconic U.S. national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite, I’ve got you covered.

Abby Burlingame

Profession:

Outdoor Educator | Park Ranger

I grew up in the Seattle area, hiking and camping the Cascades in the summer and skiing them in the winter, but drifted away from the outdoors until halfway through college. A summer as a Volunteer Vacation Crew Leader with Washington Trails Association, followed by an internship at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, set me on nearly a decade-long career with the National Park Service.

I’ve worked at small monuments and large parks alike—always connecting visitors to the outdoors through interpretation, trip planning, and education. For me, “outdoors” can mean anything from an epic, once-in-a-lifetime trek to a slow, mindful walk in a city park. My passion is helping people connect to place in meaningful ways, whether they’re solo adventurers, first-time hikers, or multi-generational families.

Megan Stump

Profession:

Former Professional Guide | Outdoor Educator | Wilderness First Responder

Spending time outside grounds me—it clears the noise, slows me down, and helps me breathe easier. It’s the medicine I can take back with me into daily life. I spent 11 years at REI, working in retail, guiding trips, and coordinating operations for the Experiences division. Before that, I worked in natural resources management with various land agencies, giving me a deep understanding of public lands and how we recreate on them.

My passion lies in helping people reach for adventures they might otherwise think are unattainable, whether that’s hiking a remote alpine route, traveling internationally for the first time, or finding the courage to explore solo. A particular focus of mine is supporting women in the outdoors, from day hikes and backpacking trips to solo international travel.
