Nick Goold

Lead Guide/Canyoneering/Scenic Hiking (He/Him)

Hi, I’m Nick, a seasoned adventure guide for Zion Guru. I’m from the beautiful state of Utah, and I’ve loved the outdoors since I was just a kid.

I studied Sociology and Outdoor Recreation at Southern Utah University, where I honed my outdoor skills in solo backpacking, long distance trail running, rock climbing, and canyoneering.

Being in nature allows me to enjoy a safe place where I can be my whole self - which is something I think everyone can benefit from. Nature helps me live life to the fullest, expand my perceived limitations, and live my truth for others to see, inspiring them to explore and learn. Plus you can’t beat sharing a beautiful view with someone you love, trust, or admire!

I’m part of the LGBTQ community, and experienced working with specialized groups of students, veterans, families, people with disabilities, etc. I would love to curate a fun, safe space while creating memorable adventures in Southern Utah with you!
