Hiya, I'm Lex!
My absolute favorite things to do are be outside and make connections, so when I moved to Bend and there weren't many local hiking guides, Erica & I decided to fill the gap!
When I'm on a trail, I'm reminded just how small I am to nature. Her grandeur keeps me grounded, and being in her presence never ceases to astound me. My love for hiking has taken me around the world, from 14ers in Colorado to old-growth forests of the PNW, all the way to Uhuru Peak on Kilimanjaro & beyond.
I am a passionate adventurer, going wherever the next exciting opportunity calls. I have an abundance of wilderness experience, as well as professional guiding experience, and have been first-aid certified for years. Basically, I'm a grade-A nature nerd, so if you'd like to hike with someone with an outgoing personality who can offer peace of mind, local insights, and an absolute *vibe*, I'm your girl!
Hey! I'm Erica!
My mission is to help you get OUTSIDE and to have fun doing so! Ready to dive into an authentic Central Oregon adventure while fostering meaningful connections with like-minded people? Let’s do it! I have a fiery passion for sunrise/sunset hikes. Nothing is more serene than hiking under the stars in the moonlight with awe-inspiring landscapes surrounding you (not to mention the minimal crowds). With a background in nursing and plenty of wilderness experience, you are sure to feel safe while exploring with me.
I have extensively explored the Pacific Northwest and surrounding states. I enjoy hiking, biking, spending time on the river, summiting mountains, basking in natural hot springs, foraging for mushrooms, bouldering, and building things (my most recent project being the conversion of my Ford van).
