The guide spotlight is on Roy this week! What an absolute joy it is to have Roy on our team. If he is your trip leader, rest assured that you're in excellent hands. This will be his 7th season leading (and 4th with us!) ⚡️

Roy grew up just outside of Chicago, but his love for adventure brought him out west. Not only is he a fantastic mountain biker 🚵‍♂️, but he’s also skilled on inline skates, a snowboard, and most recently—ski blades ⛷️.

He is currently spending his time working on the ski slopes of Aspen/Snowmass. Last winter, he made the most of his off season by bikepacking through Japan (did I mention that Roy speaks Japanese?) 🇯🇵 Most recently, he navigated the entire Grand Canyon in an inflatable kayak (ducky) with zero prior white water experience! 🛶

Roy is truly 1 of 1, and we hope you have the chance to meet him!

This week we’re highlighting Bobby, our most experienced and most beardy guide! He has been leading bike trips in the Southwestern U.S. for 15 years, and this will be his 5th season with Escape. Bobby possesses a wide range of talents, and his love for the outdoors is unmistakable.

He’s got some amazing stories to share, a knack for geology, bike mechanic skills 🔧, and even a few secret recipes up his sleeve—all contributing to his excellence as a guide and as an individual. He truly loves sharing the outdoors with others, and even majored in outdoor education and leadership at NAU.

A few months back, Bobby married his wife, Brenna, surrounded by close friends at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. 💍 Congrats you two! They currently live in Colorado with the unofficial mascot of Escape Adventures, their 5-year-old boxer mix named Pickles 🐶.

If you haven’t had the pleasure to spend time with Bobby, we sure hope you do!

This week, we’re proud to showcase Zach!

This will be his 4th season leading tours with Escape Adventures. He’s extremely thoughtful, helpful, kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with.☀️

Zach loves to explore new places and things—his curiosity leading him from the depths of canyons to the inner workings of a combustion engine.

Before joining our team, Zach worked as a service manager at a bike shop in Tennessee. We are continually blown away by his mechanical skills, which extend well beyond bicycles.

Zach may be seen riding a bike, a motorcycle, a pack raft, or even a unicycle! If you're lucky enough to have him as your guide, be sure to prepare yourself for some cheesy puns!🧀

The spotlight is on Emily this week! It will be her fifth season leading trips with us here at Escape Adventures, and we are incredibly grateful to have her!

Emily is an outdoor enthusiast in many capacities: she is an EMT, spends her winters working on Ski Patrol in Colorado, has 4 Grand Canyon rafting trips under her belt, and has completed the Tahoe Rim Trail and John Muir Trail. She’s also a certified mountain bike skills coach—so don’t be surprised if you see her flying down The Whole Enchilada in Moab on her day off.

Emily is also a talented musician 🎶 If you're lucky, you might get to hear her strum a starlight serenade out on tour ✨

Pop quiz: What does the sport of mountain biking and Emily have in common? 🤔 If you said they both got their start in Marin County, you would be correct!

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Carson, the new General Manager here at Escape Adventures. We have an awesome team heading into 2025, and I couldn't be more excited to get back out there! Stay tuned—every Tuesday from now on, we’ll be featuring one of our incredible trip leaders here! 🚴‍♂️

A little bit about me:
I grew up in Phoenix 🌵, lived in NYC for a while, and have been roaming around for the last six years. Since 2018, I have motocamped across America, traveled around Vietnam and Laos, hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, rode my bicycle across the U.S. on the Southern Tier, and guided 48 trips with Escape Adventures. Most recently, in 2023, I completed the Calendar-Year Triple Crown—hiking the Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail in a single year. It took me 9.5 months, 7,200 miles, and 1.3 million feet of elevation gain—an absolute adventure of a lifetime! ⛰️

It’s truly an honor to work in an industry that allows me to meet like-minded people from all over the world and share experiences in some of the most beautiful places on Earth.

Can’t wait to see you out there! 🚵‍♂️
