Angelique Fish

Originally from a small town in Oklahoma, Angelique Fish discovered her love for hiking and backpacking at 30 when she took a spontaneous trip to Havasupai Falls. This trip, combined with the end of an emotionally abusive marriage, sparked her passion for the outdoors. With advanced degrees in English education and technical writing, Angelique balances her career in construction proposals with her outdoor pursuits. She’s also a state record holder in weightlifting and a lifelong learner studying Spanish and taking singing lessons. Certified in wilderness first aid, Angelique leads hiking and backpacking trips, book club hikes, and even hosts a summer kickball team. Her favorite trails are in the Needles District of Canyonlands, and she loves hot cocktails or a spicy jalapeno margarita when she indulges in a drink.
