Christie Hicks Whitewater Rafting Guide

Born 1979 in San Luis Obispo, California. Guide since 2005. ID, AK, UT, MT. With ROW since 2009

Christie has a thirst for new knowledge and new rivers, and she loves to share these passions with ROW guests. As a Chemistry teacher at the Idyllwild Arts Academy, Christie spends her winters molding tomorrow's leaders in her own image. After working in Alaska, rafting amongst icebergs and on glacial rivers that created new routes every day, Christie thought it might be interesting to guide on rivers with more consistent channels in warmer climates. That brought her to Idaho and ROW Adventures. You might catch her practicing yoga on the river or chanting her latest sankrit mantra. If you are on a trip with Christie ask her about her childhood memories of hugging redwood trees.
