River Lathers
I just started guiding this year! I have always wanted to be a guide and am super happy to have finally made this dream a reality. Other than rafting I love anything outside. I’m a big backcountry skier, I love to hike, and pretty much anything else outside will make me happy. VENMO: River-Lathers
