Meet your guide Walt Carr
Walt loves all things water and canyons, from the Grand Canyon (first rafting trip in 1986 – rookie bow paddler on a 14′ River Rider at 44,000 cfs) to the emerald beauty of Fossil Creek (first float for 2021 in a packraft at 44 cfs).
Meet your guide Daniel DiStefano
Hello! My name is Dan, and I was born in San Diego, CA. Since birth, I have lived in, on or near water of all sorts. If it involves the ocean, a lake or a river, I probably love doing it! In 2015, I bolted from the big city, and settled in Clarkdale, AZ where I have been guiding on the Verde River ever since. I am an advocate for sustainability of our beautiful river, as a sitting board member at One For The Verde. I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the area with you!

Meet your guide Craig Walker
Craig’s calm demeanor and natural ability to relate will put you right at ease. HIs ability to get you easily chatting about life and events does not overshadow his expertise at leading experiences in the great outdoors. A retired youth pastor that spent decades leading youth to get closer to one another while building their faith in the outdoors, he is a treasure to host tours with at OAC. From hiking Havasupi, to river campouts to spelunking about, Craig has guided many groups, youth and tours to hike, kayak, rappel and cave all around Arizona and beyond. Craig has a special fondness for the water, but if it is in nature, chances are it is his passion. He can’t wait to share the outdoors with you.
