Trips by Leader

WI trail staff make all the difference in the world! Demographically, our staff are a wide ranging bunch, but they all have certain traits in common, including:

  • A commitment to making your experience the best it can be.
  • Curiosity about people and the world.
  • Dedication to WI’s mission of including everyone in the adventure.

Wilderness Inquiry has over 75 active trail staff, and not all of them are listed here. Regardless of which trip you go on you are in for a treat when you meet the staff.

“Prepared, careful, caring, fun and smart.
Our WI staff were great people whom you trusted and had respect for. They made everyone feel welcome and at home.
Thank you for a great time!”
