Our Master Guides
Bryant Baker
Lower Gauley River Guides
Baker began his rafting career in ACE’s guide training program in 2003. In the two decades since, he has honed this craft he loves, becoming an whitewater and safety instructor in various disciplines, both nationally and internationally recognized. Baker works as one of ACE’s River Operations Managers, overseeing the guide training program as well as all recruiting/hiring.
When not guiding or instructing, you’ll most likely find him out adventuring with his wife and three daughters. Baker is also an avid long distance hiker and trail runner, completing thru hikes of the Appalachian Trail(2,200 miles) and Colorado Trail(500 miles) as well as creating the first and only 100-mile ultramarathon in WV, the Rim to River 100.
