About our guest: Ryanne CraryRyanne is a northern
Arizona native whose adventuring in the high desert sparked her
passion for the outdoors and all things wildlife. Her family's
involvement with the Bureau of Land Management also inspired her
to receive her degree in Parks and Recreation from ASU and a
minor in Parks and Protected areas, when she spent time as an
animal handler at the Phoenix Zoo and attempted to escape the
heat. Ryanne joined the Hike Shack in 2020 where she met her now
husband Caleb, and future fur-son, Lance. She now works for The
Town of Prescott Valley Parks and Recreation as a Recreation
Supervisor and handles marketing and outreach for The Hike Shack.
When she's not at work, you can find Ryanne exploring her home in
Prescott, hiking, rock climbing, and picking up rocks and lizards
with her husband, dogs Lance and Bingo, and her lizard
Lizzie.
