Autumn
My name is Autumn! As a nature enthusiast and adventure guide, I have a deep-rooted love for hiking and climbing that has been shaped by my upbringing in the stunning landscapes of Calgary, Alberta. With years of experience exploring the great outdoors, I find joy in sharing the breathtaking beauty of the mountains with others. Guiding people through the mountains is not just a job for me—it’s a passion.
