Guide
Hailey Stapley
I’ve always loved spending time outside! In high school I was on the mountain bike team which really sealed my love for the outdoors. In college I discovered rock climbing and canyoneering and dove into all sorts of activities and sports.
I really love capturing awesome photos of my guests. I’ll go the extra mile if I know it’s a photo they will love
Why I love being a guide
I love interacting with guests. Making their trip and their experience memorable is always the goal and I think having positive interactions with the guests as you share your passion and knowledge is what makes that possible. I also love seeing the awe on their faces as they explore some of my favorite places for the first time
My guiding style
Guests would definitely describe me as energetic and passionate. Those are the comments I get the most. My response is often “it’s hard not to be excited when this is my job!” Guests can expect high energy and excitement as well as jokes on a tour with me.
Favorite places
I just love southern Utah! Especially Zion since it’s where I spend most of my time. I still have an endless bucket list of hikes, canyons, and places to explore just in and around the park. I’ll never get sick of it.
