From the first time Rachel put a canoe on her shoulders, she knew she would spend the rest of her life connected to the outdoors. She spent five years guiding at Camp Menogyn and for the last ten years worked for the Voyageur Outward Bound School. Rachel has led 50-day canoe trips in the Arctic and has been a part of some rad, masochistic adventures, such as paddling from International Falls to Lake Superior in 99 hours and racing in the Yukon River Quest in 2016. She is based out of our office in Ely. |
