GuideTristan Helzer

Tristan grew up in Utah and has spent much of his life drifting between wild places, following the rivers that run through them. With a degree in earth science, Tristan brings a deep curiosity for geology and wildlife to every trip, and is eager to help others notice the living world around them. When he’s not on the water, he lives a vagabond’s life — bouncing between projects and places, from conservation work at the University of Hawaii to wandering new corners of the world with his guitar.
