About Guanella Guides

Hi, I’m Atticus! I'm a guide with 8 years of experience, from hiking tours on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawai'i and Denali National Park, to whitewater rafting on Clear Creek, the Arkansas River, and the mighty Nenana River in Alaska. I'm an adventurous soul hailing from the Cajun culture of Louisiana and showcasing its reputation for Southern hospitality. I’ve scouted the best aspen pockets on and around Guanella Pass. My tours focus on relaxed pacing, great photos, and low-crowd windows so you can soak in the gold without the rush.

Professional Quality Photographs

I invested in a Fujifilm XT5 to give you the highest quality photos with which to remember your tour. Photos will be digitally uploaded to a Google Drive for easy retrieval.
