A day in the life of a river guide

by admin on July 1, 2010

“River guiding is a cowboy sort of a job. You’re always sleeping under the stars and cooking outside and living on the shores of the river. A lot of people say, ‘Are you nuts? What are you thinking? But a lot of other people are really envious. A river takes you back to your primeval status. Sometimes the further you regress, the happier you are. Guides are at the bottom of the food chain and proud of it.” KURT WALD, RIVER GUIDE
