Two Grand Canyon Guides

Walt helps run a Spanish language school in Costa Rica. He guides about two Grand Canyon river trips each year but spends most of his time at the Spanish school. One of the three campuses is pictured above (photo from the school's site at www.adventurespanishschool.com)



Tom left home at age 13 with a thousand dollars. He spent most of his remaining teen years living on the beach west of Los Angeles. He's 42 now, and this may have been his last trip as a Grand Canyon guide. In my opinion, Tom is one of the most skillful river guides I've known. You don't overpower rivers, you do it with finesse. He told me that many years ago, he'd come down the canyon for the rapids. But more recently, he's just wanted to show this wonderful Grand Canyon to others.
