☠️Every year it is tradition that we honor one of our new guides fresh out of guide school. This is Hailey, she is many things and now she can add SFR 2021 Rookie of the Year to the list!👏🥳
•
🌞Her highest point of the season was the all women trip with all SFR female guides and the awesome group of women with Sista Circle.
•
🌞The lowest (but still a good learning experience) was dumping a boat full of 6 big burly men in the Rio!
•
🌞She also says there is a stigma about the lifestyle of a raft guide. You don’t have to live a life of the rough and rugged. River guides have many different walks of life. So don’t let that discourage anyone wanting to give it a shot.
•
🌞She would often use our public trans system and take the Rail Runner from #Albuquerque to the South Capital train stop and ride her one-wheel to our Santa Fe boatyard.
•
Santa Fe Rafting will hold 2022 guide school April 18! If you’re interest, reach out to us and let’s get you on the river.
•
🍻cheers to all our Rookies of the Year in the past and in the future! @cass.perezia @marg_sauce @big_daddy_adams @treviesnow
