Guide Training Programs

The other thing I love to do is guide training.  I now head or assist with several guide training programs.  For 2010 I have limited time for training programs and will only be doing one or two.

 

gauleylhama.com  The web site for Glenn Goodrich

On to South America!

Welcome. Hello! My name is Glenn Goodrich, a whitewater rafting guide of over 30 years.  This is not a marketing web site, but just one that I have fun with.  It keeps my friends informed of what I am doing and what trips I have planned.   Also, I have traveled all over the world and have adventure stories from near and far to share.

Most of my trips have been setting up private trips for former or part-time raft guides.

Having been in the whitewater rafting business, I have met hundreds of raft guides through the years

I have been one of the very few that have made a career out of being a raft guide.  Typically a raft guide works two to four years, then realizes what little money there is in it and they then get a real job.

Though they get a real job, rafting is still in their blood and many would love to use their vacation time to go on a raft trip.  That’s where I come in, I try to plan one or two of these trips a year and they often become quite an adventure.  For those that can’t make my trips, I often send out trip reports by e-mail.  My friends say that they enjoy hearing about what I’m doing, so when my good friend, Wendy Woods, gave me this web site, I decided to make it a site about my adventures.

Have Fun!!!

I saw a seminar on the Fish Market in Seattle and there were four points made related to the great attitudes of the employees there.  I don’t remember two of the points, but the other two really sums up my personality.  One is that YOU can choose your attitude and I always choose to be in a good mood and that keeps me going to always have a good time at everything I do.  The other is simply to have fun, which I always do.  So have fun with this site!

 

 

 

 

My schedule is included so that people can find me and there will be some photos posted, my resume, riverlog, and my 13 year plan to raft guide all over the country and in South America.  The Where's G page is my current updates on what I am doing right now.

In the March/April, 2005 issue of Paddler magazine where on page 62, I have an article about my accidental first descents in Costa Rica and New Zealand'

In the March/April issue of Paddler Magazine in 2004, there was a feature of 8 “classic raft guides” and I was proud to be one of the ones featured.  I thank all of my friends and my customers who nominated me for that.  There is a link provided to that article.

Also in the June issue of Canoe/Kayak magazine on page 38, there is an interview with me about tips on running private trips.

Included on the site are a number of funny short stories that I have told while guiding or around the campfire.  There are also some trip reports that I have sent out after a trip, and a page on my upcoming trips.
