A good guide doesn’t just show you the way — they bring the journey to life.

Our leaders are more than navigators. They’re storytellers, stewards of the land, and kind companions along the way. Some are locals who know every curve in the trail. Others are trained experts with a deep love for the outdoors.

They’re the ones who spot the buzzard overhead. Who carry extra tea. Who make a rainy day feel like part of the plan.

When you're with an Encounter guide, you're in good company — and safe hands.
