Rachel grew up on a farm in upstate New York, where she spent countless hours exploring the fields and woods behind her parent’s house. After earning her BA from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY, she set off on seasonal adventures as a guide and outdoor educator across the country.
Her first taste of dog sledding came right here on Godwin Glacier in the summer of 2023. Since then, she’s taught cross-country skiing in Maine, worked as a paddleboard instructor in Colorado, and even raced sled dogs in Idaho. Now, she’s excited to return to Seward as a glacier guide and can’t wait for her second Mount Marathon Race!
This is Rachel’s second season on Godwin Glacier with Turning Heads Kennel.
