North America Trip Leader

Eric Rock

Eric began his career as a professional naturalist guide while studying wildlife biology and photography at the University of Alaska. His field work took him all across Alaska, studying subjects ranging from river otters, seabirds, and waterfowl to small mammal population dynamics. He soon realized he wanted to share what he was seeing with others, and he began leading international nature and photography adventures, first in Alaska’s Denali National Park and then Yellowstone National Park—one of his favorite ecosystems. Eric has a gift for translating his passion into unique insights that create lasting memories, and his easy going personality and passion for the natural world make him a perfect guide for any outdoor adventure.

Client Testimonials

Eric’s professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, flexibility, commitment, and dedication made this trip an excellent experience for us. He is by far one of the best guides we have ever had (and we travel extensively).

Yellowstone and Grand Teton Wildlife Private Journey

Eric just blew us away with his knowledge, talent, experience, attention to detail, and love of life! He was extremely generous with his time and professional skill and understanding of our desires to see it all. I believe by the end of the trip we were convinced that the world is so full of adventures that we must plan many more explorations of our wonderful world.
