Jim Burns
I have always liked being outside and photography. I was in scouts and camped from a young age, but my life really changed when I was 15 years old and I took my first trip down the Grand Canyon. I loved it. It was the best experience of my life and our guide Fox, was a large part of making that experience what it was. Now, as a guide, I try to make every trip as special for my customers as my first trip in the Grand was for me.
I have been guiding for 30 years. I am a licensed guide in NYS for camping, hiking, canoe, kayak and white water rafting. I am also certified ACA level III Swift Water Rescuer and a Wilderness First Responder.
I am an internationally published and award winning professional photographer. There are few things I enjoy more than sharing my experiences and knowledge with my clients.
