Esther Daranciang

Arches National Park

Esther was first exposed to conservation and camping as a high schooler in Seattle through the Student Conservation Association School Year Program. Through her service with SCA she was given the opportunity to take a National Outdoor Leadership School course. The course took her out to eastern Utah to kayak through world famous whitewater. It was on that course that Esther fell in love with red rock, wilderness and adventure sports. She went on to attend Westminster College in Salt Lake City, UT to be closer to the desert. Since then she has lived across the west chasing new experiences and ecosystems all while working to educate the public about the importance of our natural resources and beauty of our public lands. She is ecstatic to be rooting down on the Colorado Plateau among red rock and canyons to serve as the CVA for Arches and Canyonlands. In her free time she enjoys sharing meals, creative pursuits and sending it with her pals.
