Stella Johnson
Stella is from just over the Cascades. Growing up in Leavenworth, WA, she was fortunate enough to be exposed to the outdoors by her parents through backpacking trips, mountain biking, and skiing. By the time she graduated from high school, being and moving outside had become an essential part of her life. Her love of the outdoors led her to move to Norway for a chunk of time, where she continued to fall deeper in love with long days in the mountains, whether on skis or foot. Originally drawn to a career in guiding with the hope of sharing that passion and love for the outdoors with others, Stella has found it to be an incredibly rewarding profession—one that allows her to connect with people from all walks of life through a shared appreciation of the natural world. When not clambering around Mount Rainier, Stella lives most of the year in Bozeman, MT. On the occasion you don’t find her buzzing around the hills, you might find her baking bread, knitting, or playing cards.
