GuideKlara Maisch

Born and raised in Fairbanks, Klara has wilderness in her blood. Having spent her youth exploring the wilds of Alaska with her family, she is at home on the rivers and in the mountains. She started with Arctic Wild in 2012 as our assistant shop manager. Her attention to detail, work ethic and positive attitude quickly convinced us she would be an excellent assistant guide. Our clients and her fellow guides agree that Klara is a real asset to Arctic Wild. As an artist and guide, she especially enjoys the opportunity to foster exploration, wonder, and appreciation for the natural environment. Klara spends her winter months painting, skiing, and guiding for the University of Alaska’s “Girls on Ice Program”. You can see Klara’s art at klaramaisch.com
