Our Guides

Although our guides are peppy and enthusiastic to share their joy of the outdoors with you, they're not young pups.  All are well-seasoned outdoor folks (dare we say grizzled?) with lots of life experience to bring to the party.

Karen Denison, guide and owner of Outspire, is a 21-year resident of Santa Fe, a former biologist turned guide for the area she loves. Among her other activities she is a fly fishing guide, a fly casting instructor certified by the national Federation of Fly Fishers, co-author of a regional fly tying book, instructor at the local community college in map-reading and hand-held GPS use, and an active volunteer for a therapeutic riding program for disabled children and adults. She has been guiding visitors in the outdoors since 1997.

Barrie Robbins, guide and founder of Outspire, has backpacked and hiked in the western United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Scotland, and Ireland. She enjoys getting to know an area by exploring it “off the beaten path.” She has been living in Santa Fe and exploring its trails for six years and is passionate about sharing her joys in the outdoors with others. She brings knowledge of the trails and a friendly and playful spirit to guiding.

Jon Asher left a teaching job over thirty years ago in the Midwest to live in the mountains of Colorado. Jon is an artist and musician. He has worked as a hiking and river guide in the West for the last twenty years. His passion and love for the outdoors  is contagious and loves to share his enthusiasm with others. He currently owns an outdoor gear store here in Santa Fe, Wild Mountain Outfitters.
