Meet Beyond's New Guide Staff

As always, the training season snuck up on us again and here we are, going into the third training weekend. At each training weekend both Sea Kayaking and Mountain Guides gain the skills needed to lead trips on the water and in the mountains for the up coming summer.
At the last weekend, guides learned the skills necessary to navigate the Beyond wilderness. Guides fine tuned skills on using a map and compass and how to read topography. A great weekend.
On May 1st, the whole staff for the 2009 summer meets for the first time in Anacortes, WA. We're very excited to see how the community begins to form itself again this year. Sea Kayaking Guides will spend their first training days on the water while the Mountain Guides will spend the day honing their rock climbing skills on Mt. Erie.
