Deanna Kleinhenz

– Wildland Guide and Blog Contributor –

Deanna grew up in South Florida and has been an avid backpacker since 2014. Her love for nature and geology led to her move to Boulder, CO to attend college. While spending all her free time adventuring in the Rocky Mountains she realized her passion for outdoor recreation was something she wanted to pursue professionally. This led her to switch majors and find a school that offered an Outdoor Education program. She is a Leave No Trace Master Educator, Wilderness First Responder and AAIRE I certified. When Deanna’s not guiding for Wildland she is either snowboarding, traveling, camping, hiking, practicing yoga, paddle boarding or creating content for her outdoor blog. What drives her the most is witnessing the transformative experiences guests have while in the backcountry. She believes time spent in nature strengthens and cultivates a courageous mindset that carries over into your everyday life.
