Danielle Tilley

-Wildland Guide and Blog Contributor-

Danielle grew up in Connecticut, where she spent many days exploring the woods of New England, camping with her family, and fishing the lakes from her kayak. A few years after graduating from the University of Connecticut with a degree in Psychology, Danielle made the decision to live out her dream of moving to Colorado. She completely fell in love with the incredible mountains and deserts of the Southwest as she said yes to every opportunity for adventure that came her way, and then she turned those adventures into her career. She has been a volunteer naturalist in Southwest Colorado, a Wilderness Therapy Guide in Idaho, a Life Skills Mentor in Arizona, and a Llama Trekking Guide in Northwest Montana. Danielle loves to share her passion for exploring wild places with her guests and is immensely fulfilled by helping others to experience the backcountry’s unparalleled beauty. When she isn’t guiding, you can find Danielle learning a new craft, rappelling into a canyon, around a campfire with friends, or relaxing in a hammock outside of her camper.
