Guide feature time! Dove sweet Dove Miller.

Dove is an incredible asset to our team in every way. She is a kind thoughtful human who truly cares that each individual is comfortable and having a good time. She is incredibly strong in all of the ways and skilled at her craft. She is safety minded and cares about quality. On top of all of that, she has a warm heart that is both connecting and healing. We are so lucky to know and run with this woman!

Years guiding:

This is my 6th season with WRO. This season will be my 22nd year guiding, and my 25th year kayaking. I am an ACA level 4 certified whitewater kayak instructor, level 4 whitewater rafting instructor on oars and paddle, Level 4 Swiftwater Rescue Instructor. I’ve guided on nearly 50 rivers in the Pacific Northwest and Chile.

Why do I guide:

Originally I picked up rafting to help pay for my kayaking addiction. But quickly realized that guiding is the best job on earth. I am so privileged to get to share what I love with other people. I get to do a job that is about making people happy, about having fun and finding joy and peace in the outdoors. I love overcoming challenges and watching other people do the same. I love the sound of the river when I sleep next to it at night. Every river has a different story to tell. Each day is a new experience. I will never get bored of guiding or running rivers.

Favorite Ice Cream flavor:

I love a good creamy coconut ice cream

Super power:

The ability to breathe under water.

We appreciate you Dove, and are so happy you are returning!

It’s not all river trips and wilderness over here, but we love the other things too. The last couple of weeks have been a post pounding, fence building extravaganza at the new warehome in preparation for the summer. We are getting excited to have our guides back for the summer!

Home for the night! Not everyone wants a traditional tent, and this setup has some very fine ambiance. Excited to get back to riverside sleeping and the current’s lullaby.

Guide feature…and what a smile on this one!

Charlie Barta is someone with a thirst to learn and thrive. She is always curious about how to grow in her role as a guide and is always acquiring skill in the backcountry. Her lovely learner attitude is a huge asset to our team setting a great example for everyone who joins her orbit.

In the winter she ski patrols at Alta Ski Resort, complimenting her summers helping people enjoy rivers with a winter helping people recreate safely in the mountains. Charlie is a deeply introspective and thoughtful human, and brings great perspective to any situation.

1. Favorite ice cream flavor:

Chocolate chip cookie dough

2. Why do you guide?

I love guiding because I get to spend time outside, build connections with people, challenge myself- and it’s REALLY FUN!

3. Super power:

If I had a super power it would be to be invincible! I love going fast and I am good at getting hurt, so I could have more fun without getting hurt!

A strength at WRO? Morning Fruit…lots of it! But you’ll have to race Jake to the nanners 🤣
