ABOUT US

Adventurer, guide, mom, and nature lover. I’ve brought High Desert Paddle Co to life with one vision: to share the wild, sacred beauty of the High Desert and empower every soul who steps into the High Desert with us.

I believe the wilderness is a teacher, a healer, a mirror of our own strength. Each paddle, each hike, each quiet moment in the canyon is an invitation—to breathe deeply, feel fully, and remember the magic that’s always within you.

Here, adventure is more than motion—it’s presence, empowerment, and connection. Let’s explore the desert together, honor the land, and leave with hearts full, spirits lifted, and memories that linger like sunlight on sandstone.

Tyler has been a mini adventure buddy from a young age, spending countless days on the water learning paddle skills, navigation, and enviromental awareness alongside the business. Over time, that lifelong experience naturally evolved into a guiding role. Tyler has recently begun guiding with Lake Powell Paddle Express, bringing enthusiasm, local familiarity, and a genuine love for sharing these places with others.

Stephanie is a yogi extraordinaire with a deep love for the wild. She has walked much of the Appalachian Trail barefoot, embracing the land, the challenges, and the quiet lessons it offers the soul. Her practice goes beyond the mat—she brings mindfulness, curiosity, and a sense of wonder to every adventure.

We’re thrilled to have Stephanie on our team, sharing her passion for the wilderness and helping guests connect deeply with the High Desert through movement, stillness, and adventure.

Emma loves the wilderness and sharing it with others. She brings enthusiasm, curiosity, and a desire to help every guest have a meaningful, safe, and enjoyable experience.

We’re excited to have her on our team at High Desert Paddle Co, where she can grow as a guide, connect people to the beauty of the High Desert, and bring her own style and passion to every adventure.

Ember grew up with the wilderness as her backyard, following her mom, Jasey, on countless adventures through deserts, rivers, and canyons. A creative assistant and lover of art, Ember brings her eye for beauty and detail into everything she does. As our reservation specialist, she combines her organizational skills with a genuine love for helping others experience magic of the outdoors.
