Meet Cliff

Cliff is a NY State licensed hiking guide (Badge #9454) and wilderness first responder based in the Hudson Valley and Catskills. A California native turned Upstate New Yorker, he’s explored extensively across Latin America, New Zealand, and the Western United States.

When he’s not leading hikes, you’ll find him playing pickleball, paddling local rivers, or slinging drinks at a neighborhood bar. Cliff lives at the base of the Shawangunks with his wife, Dani, and their goldendoodle, Pancho.

  • We had a GREAT time with Cliff! He took us places (both on trails and not on trails) that we never would have gone on our own. Cliff has a wonderful way about him. And his photos are awesome! We were so glad we booked this hike!

  • I recently planned a guided hike for my proposal and had the pleasure of working with Cliff throughout the process. The hike itself was amazing! Cliff's friendly demeanor made it feel like we were hiking with a good friend, and we truly enjoyed our conversations along the way. His passion for the outdoors made the experience all the more enjoyable. Thanks to Cliff, my proposal turned into a truly special moment that I will cherish forever.
