All the times I have hiked with Jess, while having always been successful and having gone off without a hitch, have always been so much more. Jess is inspirational as a guide and as a human, bringing to life the mountains she's at home in, and inspiring a reverence for nature in those she guides. Her years of experience in the wild have created in her a calm, confident manner that is not at all misplaced. She is a wonderful guide who does so much more than just lead you along a path.
