Trip Designer
Hi, I’m Dehn—trail runner, filmmaker, father of five, and lifelong adventurer. I grew up in Lake Tahoe, where backcountry routes and alpine lakes were part of daily life. That love for wild places inspired me to launch Vacation Races, a running event series near national parks—and later, Global Adventures, where I designed multi-day travel experiences that combined endurance, cultural immersion, and unforgettable landscapes.
I’ve led ultramarathons through the desert, family backpacking trips in Yosemite, and youth groups into the wilderness to show them what they’re capable of. My goal? Help people reconnect with nature, reset their perspectives, and walk away with stories they’ll never forget. Whether you’re chasing big summits, planning your first park trip, or navigating the world with your kids in tow—I’m here to help.
Outdoor Educator | National Park Ranger | Wilderness First Responde
Hi, I’m Lindsey! I’ve spent the last decade working across eight states with the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and now with U.S. Fish & Wildlife in the National Wildlife Refuge System. Wherever I’ve been, I’ve always found myself helping others plan their visits—sharing trail knowledge, route ideas, and safety guidance drawn from real on-the-ground experience.
I’m also a passionate long-distance hiker. I met my husband on the Appalachian Trail and got engaged while hiking the PCT. Thru-hiking has shaped so much of who I am, and I’d love to help others—whether you’re solo, planning your first backcountry trip, or dreaming of months on trail—find that same kind of joy and growth in the outdoors.
