Jeanelle Carpentier
Jeanelle Carpentier grew up on a small island in the state of Washington, where she gained her love of nature and outdoor adventure at a young age. She began traveling the world with her family at the age of six, and has had a love for travel ever since.
Studies in psychology, outdoor management, and wilderness medicine have set Janelle up well to lead tours and expeditions to destinations around the world, including the American West. Over the decades, she has explored more than fifty countries and resided in New Zealand, Peru, and Australia. She established her home in the heart of the Colorado Plateau, drawn by its diverse high-desert landscape.
With a strong personal connection to the world’s natural wonders, history, and culture, Janelle is passionate about and grateful to be able to share her passion for nature, the outdoors, and our national parks with travelers.
When Jeanelle isn't working, hiking, or traveling the world, she enjoys anything to do with mountains, climbing, rafting, biking, yoga, photography, cooking, arts & crafts, conservation, volunteering, and education.
Matt Turner
From an early age, Matt has been fascinated with the natural world. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and living in the Bay Area for much of his childhood, he made a life-changing decision to attend high school in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. The region’s distinctive geology, climate, flora, and fauna further stimulated his interest in studying the natural sciences. He has remained in the region for nearly four decades and resides in Prescott, Arizona.
After obtaining a degree in natural history from Prescott College, Matt worked as a field biologist and ecological-rangeland consultant for numerous federal agencies and private entities. A big proponent of land conservation, Matt also works for a land trust, providing expertise in conservation easements and other land protection tools.
In conjunction with his field biology work, Matt has worked as a river guide on the Colorado River and its tributaries and a mountain guide in Colorado. Over the years, Matt’s focus shifted from adventure to naturalist guiding, and he has led countless individuals throughout the Southwest and intermountain region, while imparting a unique perspective of the region’s natural environment and human cultures.
In his spare time, Matt enjoys mountain biking and hiking, often with camera gear in tow. You can check out his images at www.tierraimagery.com.
