Outdoor Leader Spotlight

Kath Sharp

Kath has been leading trips for Wilderness Inquiry since 1990, and she has earned the trust and affection of thousands of folks who have paddled, skied and hiked with her. Kath's broad wilderness expertise makes her a great trip leader, but what distinguishes her most is her caring nature for everyone adventuring with her. You will learn why so many people want to go back to Kath’s trips.

I never knew that spending time in the outdoors, and in a culture that I'm unfamiliar with, could have such a potent effect on the way I view the world. From the wonderful hikes we did as a group to the amazing dinners we shared together, Wilderness Inquiry made this trip one to never forget. Not only did I get to engage with others, but I also had a chance to improve my education with this trip. Wilderness Inquiry has done an amazing job to show me what actually matters when traveling with a group. Also, shout out to the best trip leaders ever for everything they have done to make this trip unforgettable."

The Wilderness Inquiry program is one of a kind. The staff is well trained and conducts themselves with passion and professionalism. We enjoy working with them every year providing local students with a rare opportunity to paddle the Harlem River, something they will remember the rest of their lives. Kudos to Wilderness Inquiry!”

I want to express appreciation for Wilderness Inquiry and its great staff for the Mississippi River canoe trip with Disabled American Veterans. Our canoe team Mary, Kendra, Ian, and Alina helped me add "cormorant" to my bird life list, and sang sea shanties with us - a rare opportunity all around!"
