Seth Plunkett, Alaska Guide

Seth H. Plunkett grew up in Vermont and his love of the outdoors began as soon as he could walk. At age 5 he begged his parents to strap snowshoes on his feet and they reluctantly agreed, figuring he would be back in a matter of minutes. He spent the whole day traipsing around the woods and meadows around the house. Seth has made Southeast Alaska his home since 1994, where he worked as a backcountry ranger for the National Park Service on the Chilkoot trail for 5 years. He currently guides rafting, hiking and kayaking trips, and spends every spare moment exploring and photographing the vast wilderness, mountains, ocean, and glaciers that surround and inspire him. He is a graduate of a NOLS (the National Outdoor Leadership School) instructor course, and is well versed in emergency medicine, climbing, rescue, small boat handling, and camp stove cuisine. He looks forward to sharing a wilderness campsite with you soon!
