Tyler Hesler
River Guide
Originally from Plainfield, Indiana, Tyler holds an Associate’s Degree in Environmental Studies and has been guiding guests along Colorado’s magnificent rivers since 2018. In the winter months, he’s an avid skier and describes one of his most treasured childhood memories as skiing from 10 am to 2 am with his best friend on Indiana’s perfect slopes. While it was skiing that inspired his move to Colorado when he was 18, Tyler quickly developed a love for being on the water. When he’s not river guiding, you’ll find Tyler climbing in the Maroon Bells, juggling, playing guitar, and traveling around in his van.
Guest Reviews
"The trip of a lifetime! I’m usually hesitant about multi-day adventures because of my food allergies, but ROW went above and beyond to make sure I was not only safe, but also well fed with meals full of flavor. Kim, Maxim, Anna, Rian, Oshna, Tom, Tyler, and Shane were an incredible team; skilled, knowledgeable, and a joy to be around. I couldn’t recommend this trip more highly and already look forward to traveling with ROW again."
