Hi, I'm Sunny! I’m a record-setting adventure athlete, backcountry guide, and expedition leader who thrives in the wildest, most remote places on Earth. From speed records in the Grand Canyon to leading all-women summits in the Andes, my life’s work is helping people push their limits—and discover what they’re truly capable of in the outdoors.
I’m also the first woman to ski the full 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail. (Yes, really.) And when I’m not in Alaska, you’ll find me guiding mountaineering expeditions in the Andes, running Dreamland Safari Tours in Utah, or leading high-altitude adventures through AWE Expeditions, my women-focused expedition company.
Whether you’re planning your first backpacking trip or an alpine traverse at altitude, I’m here to help you prepare, get stoked, and go farther than you thought possible.
I run Dreamland Safari Tours out of Kanab, UT, and guide remote desert routes, technical scrambles, and backcountry trips across the Southwest.
From Denali basecamps to remote ski traverses, I’ve led (and survived!) some of the most rugged expeditions in the state—including the 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail. Skiing all 1,000 miles of this winter route across the Alaskan backcountry changed me forever. Here’s the full story →
I guide treks, mountaineering expeditions, and high-altitude routes throughout the Andes, Sacred Valley.
Annapurna Circuit – Fastpacking this legendary trail in Nepal remains one of my favorite high-altitude experiences.
I guide treks, mountaineering expeditions across Cordillera Blanca, and Mendoza.
