YOUR GUIDE
to the unforgettable
I’m Taylor Cramer. You may know me better as @thetravelingbeardd on instagram.
I have been adventuring offroad, on foot, or in a canoe my entire life. I grew up camping in upstate New York and have always loved the outdoors, but when I moved out West that love became an obsession.
On my quest to visit every U.S. National Park I discovered that much of the country is just as beautiful as any National Park, but there are no crowds, campgrounds, or commotion if you take the road less traveled to its very end.
But how do you get there?
That’s where I come in!
I have worked as a professional off-road truck driver, construction equipment operator, and recovery tow truck driver, so getting stuck in the mud/sand/snow is second nature to me.
I have a degree in astrophysics and sat on the board of directors for the Buffalo Astronomical Association from 2015-2018. Who better to guide you through the sea of infinite stars when you’re 50 miles from the nearest cell phone tower.
Once, I rescued a woman and her two children who got lost hiking in the middle of the Utah desert, 30 minutes before the search and rescue helicopter arrived.
My specific set of skills and life experiences make me uniquely qualified to be your guide through the legendary landscapes of the American Southwest.
