Junior Explorers

Alex Pierce grew up in Massachusetts exploring New England’s forests, where Cub Scouts sparked his love for camping and wilderness travel. After earning his Eagle Scout rank at 18, he worked seasonally in national parks across the American West and found his calling as a wilderness guide, leading backpacking and llama-assisted expeditions in Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Zion. In the off-season, he traveled internationally, leading group trips and backpacking solo in remote areas of Nepal, Morocco, and Japan. Now based in southern Arizona, where he started his own home repair business in 2020, Alex is excited to share his passion for the outdoors and wilderness experience with the next generation.
