Kyle Murphy
Kyle is a wilderness educator and facilitator from the Sacramento area, most passionate about helping to create a more inclusive outdoor community. Kyle has worked in the outdoor industry for the last eight years, but most recently at Peak Adventures, Sacramento State University’s outdoor program, as an outdoor trip leader, challenge center facilitator, and team lead. During his first year working for Peak, he became a whitewater guide and soon fell in love with the whitewater environment. After three years of commercial guiding, he became a head guide, first for Peak Adventures and then for American Whitewater Expeditions, where he routinely leads large and diverse groups on the South Fork of the American River. His love of the wilderness derives from a deep desire to live every day by those values that infuse love, excitement, wisdom, and knowledge into his life.
