Sienna Fry was raised on the northern California coast and grew up hiking and backpacking in the Redwood Forest. She earned a B.A. in Physical and Environmental Geography with a certificate in GIS/Cartography (aka: maps) from California State University, Chico. During college, Sienna fell in love with rock climbing, skiing, and outdoor education and began working for the Colorado Outward Bound School as an intern.

When she’s not working, Sienna’s exploring the high peaks of the Rocky Mountains or the slickrock canyons of southern Utah.

“Each backpacking trip is a chance to explore the best of what the outdoors has to offer, whether you’re a beginner or experienced backpacker,” Sienna says. “I’ve led dozens of groups of teenagers on backpacking trips—many of whom had no experience camping when they started—so I know what it takes to introduce people to something that I’m passionate about.”
