Hi! I'm Krista and I love nature! I was born and raised in the Sierra Foothills of California so Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks were like my childhood playground. I have a degree in Environmental Studies and have been a professional guide for over four years, in every season and for every age group and ability level. I am versed in Sierra Nevada natural history; from the geologic and hydrologic processes that raised these mountains to the human histories of those who walked these trails before us to the fascinating plants and animals and modern science that we are still learning about today. My passion is helping others connect with nature! "Only spread a fern frond over a man's head and worldly cares are cast out, and freedom and beauty and peace come in" -John Muir
