About Guanella Guides

Hi, I’m Atticus — a guide with 7 years of experience, from hiking tours on the beautiful island of Maui, HI to whitewater raft guiding, now based in Georgetown. I’ve scouted the best aspen pockets on and around Guanella Pass. My tours focus on relaxed pacing, great photos, and low-crowd windows so you can soak in the gold without the rush.

Sustainability: Carbon‑Negative by Design

I pledge to plant 3 trees for every 20 gallons of gas burned, aiming to sequester more carbon than we emit from fuel use.

  • At‑risk species focus: Limber Pine, Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine
  • Planting area: Arapahoe National Forest
  • Per‑tree impact: ~36.4 lbs of carbon sequestered annually (averaged over the first 10 years)

Solar next: targeting a 5–10 kW rooftop system in Colorado, typically offsetting ~6–12 metric tons CO₂/year.
