Caleb Burns
Guide
Caleb Burns, a Southern Oregon native. Grew up outdoors and had a natural love of adventure and exploration instilled in him at a young age. He traveled much of the West Coast with his father as a child. After college, Caleb continued to travel much of the country and has spent time in most states West of the Mississippi. Caleb would tell you that he successfully failed at a socially acceptable career, and found his passion in connecting people with the outdoors. Having met his now-wife, he returned to Southern Oregon where he currently lives with his wife and daughter. He's an active member of Search and Rescue, co-owner of another guide company, and primarily works in the Cascades, Mexico, or the Sierras. In the winter he can be found instructing avalanche courses, ski guiding, or working as a consultant in mitigation and avalanche analysis. One of his most memorable climbs is assisting NASA and National Geographic on an expedition to explore the fumarole caves at the top of Mt. Rainier for information gathering prior to the MARS rover project. He has a love of helping people get outside and encouraging them to pursue their goals but also helping to enjoy the beauty of the areas they travel in.
