Hey Friends! I am originally from Colorado where my love for mountains and nature came from. Growing up I was always in the dance studio, snowmobiling the back country, snowboarding or fish anybody of water.
I moved to Las Vegas to pursue my BFA in professional performance and choreography at UNLV. I have had the opportunity to dance all over the world including the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Music surrounds my life. I played the drums growing up and rocked the bass guitar in a local all girl band in Las Vegas. I love to meet new people and share my backyard with the world! The black canyon is one of the most amazing places to paddle. Let’s go on an adventure!
Hi, I am Preston Acuff. I have been a Las Vegas local since 2008 and I am originally from Northeast Ohio! This year, 2025, is going to be an awesome year and is my fifth year touring with River Dogz. I have spent many hours and miles exploring around the Black Canyon, and I look forward to letting you in on some neat and less known facts about this general area.
Outside of work, depending on the time of year, you will probably hear or see me riding my motorcycle or find me hunting an array of game. With four seasons in the year, there is a lot of stuff to know and see!
I look forward to seeing you on the river!
What’s up guys?! My name is Jared from Las Vegas. In my free time, my favorite sport is backcountry skiing on the snowy mountains of Lee Canyon, where I also work seasonally as a ski patroller.
Some of my hobbies include backpacking, hiking, and of course, kayaking on the beautiful Colorado River.
Being adventurous, spending time with good people, raving to EDM music, and eating delicious foods are some of my favorite things to do. I hope to chill on the river with you guys and have an awesome time!
Howdy y’all! 👋🏼 I’m Haley, also known as your tour guide, mountain biker, snowboarder, and skydiver!
I live for the adventure and the adrenaline. I’m always ready to dip my toes into any new waters and anything new I can try including food, places and meeting new people.
My dog and I will find any excuse to travel , but we always find ourselves coming back to the Colorado River to get our paws wet 🐾
I’m Jessica! I love spending time outdoors and helping people experience the beauty of the Colorado River.
I grew up in Kansas but have been living in Las Vegas for the last five years and Nashville before that!
Off the water, I’m usually relaxing at home with my dog and cat. Hope to see you on the water soon!
Hey guys! My name is Ryan! I’m originally from the Coachella Valley, CA. but have lived in Las Vegas for about 5 years.
I have always loved the outdoors, especially anything water related! Hope to see you out on the river!
Hi everyone! I’m Julia. I’m a Las Vegas native and I absolutely love the outdoors. When I’m not on the river you’ll find me out canyoneering, caving, climbing or on an adventure outside.
I look forward to sharing the desert with you on the river or trail!
Heyo! I grew up white water rafting, hiking, snow boarding, camping, kayaking, playing on the water and being out in nature from the west coast to the east coast.
Being able to share the love of outdoor adventure with others brings me joy. See you out there!
Growing up in California I grew up to love the outdoors. Having everything surrounding me I had an amazing chance growing up in remote areas and truly appreciate what life has to offer.
Either with friends or just me and my dog, I take every opportunity to get out and do something new, or learn new skills. From hiking in the deserts, climbing mountains, swimming in the oceans or simply people watching, so long as I’m outdoors, I am as happy as can be. Of course, the one and only exception would be reading books during my down time.
If I haven’t learned something new today, I strive to learn more tomorrow. Looking forward to learning more about every one of ya’ll I meet out on the water!
Hi Ya’ll! Outdoors, art and food are my key to happiness.
If I’m not on kayak guiding, I’m usually spending time with my needy cats hah. Look forward to seeing you on the river!

I like to think I’m a true desert rat through and through, and I can’t wait to show you my favorite things about our beautiful desert!
Hello, my name is Kylee.
I grew up in Idaho and was very active and loved the outdoors. I love to play sports, travel and camping. I left Las Vegas to play college volleyball in Utah. My volleyball career ended in a tragic snowboarding accident.
I was told by several doctors I was paralyzed and I would never walk again. After months of physical therapy and determination, I learned to walked again. At that point I knew nothing was impossible. I learned to love and appreciate life in a whole new way.
I started doing guided tours in the mountains of Utah. I was a tour guide for zip lining, horseback riding, river rafting, and dog sledding. I eventually made my way back to Las Vegas after the birth of my son.
I absolutely love Lake Mead, the Colorado river, Mt Charleston and all the outdoor activities Las Vegas has to offer. Being outdoors brings so much joy to my life.
