Claire Bollinger

Lead Guide/Scenic Hiking/Yoga (She/Her)

I grew up in the wilds of north Idaho, climbing trees and exploring creeks. I began backpacking at an early age and was inspired to travel, which led to adventures around the globe.

Since moving to Springdale fulltime in 2021, my love for the desert and the people who choose to call it home has deepened. My interests in botany and geology continue to grow as I engage in this intricate and complex, fragile and powerful place. I enjoy exploring the desert through adventure hiking, yoga, gardening, weaving, and seeing the place through the eyes of visitors.

I hope to help visitors become immersed in the desert, to experience awe and wonder by meeting them where they are, as we experience the wild and dynamic landscape of Zion together.
