Audrey Abbott

Lead Guide/Canyoneering/Scenic Hiking/Rock Climbing

As a guide for Zion Guru, I get the opportunity to empower and educate our guests in their journey through this incredible national park.

I grew up in Dallas, Texas but spent most of my childhood summers in Colorado, where I fell in love with the great outdoors. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and the summer after graduation, I began to lead biking and hiking trips with an active travel company. What started out as “one last hurrah” before settling into “the real world” quickly turned into a lifelong passion and career.

I developed a deep regard for adventure travel, as well as the wilderness experience, and I believe strongly in the innate connection between outdoor exploration and self-reflection and growth.

Before moving to Utah in 2018, I lived and worked all over the world, spending significant chunks of time in Catalonia, Spain, Zambia and Zimbabwe, Patagonia, and Southeast Asia.

When I’m not guiding, I spend my free time exploring Southern Utah, where I enjoy a multitude of outdoor activities, primarily climbing and biking. In between adventures, I can be found relaxing with a cup of coffee and a stack of books on the porch of my home in Virgin.
