Jen Groves

Jen has been a canyoneering devotee since her first experience in Pine Creek Canyon in Zion National Park in 2010.  While studying Recreation Management at Brigham Young University, she went into canyons any chance she could, and by the next summer was guiding her own trips throughout Southern Utah.  Since then she has attended numerous canyoneering leadership workshops, as well as classes on canyon and technical rescue.  Her favorite things about guiding are helping people overcome their fears, and making people laugh.  When she's not canyoneering (or dreaming about canyoneering), Jen can be found skiing at Snowbird, wishing she were skiing at Snowbird, convincing her husband that her latest adventure is "not that scary," or exploring with her black lab, Sadie.  Her favorite canyons in Utah are Behunin Canyon (Zion National Park), Cassidy Arch (Capitol Reef National Park), and Hogwarts Canyon (Dirty Devil Wilderness).
