Mindy Sachaj

About me

Mindy's love of nature began when she was growing up in Illinois. The majestic mountains of Colorado called to her during her teenage years and it was a dream come true to move here in 1994. As her desire grew to backpack and hike in the Colorado mountains, she realized survival knowledge would be helpful. She is trained in 4-season back country survival and rescue, plant identification, and has volunteered on trail building projects. She's hiked over 34-14ers in the back country wilderness of Colorado and thru-hiked the entirety of the Colorado Trail. She enjoys kayaking and rock-climbing, and is a winter aficionado, too. She's trained in avalanche science, and is a nationally certified ski/snowboard instructor. When traveling, she aspires to hike the highest peak in every location. In addition to guiding and instructing, Mindy earns her living as a Realtor. It's rewarding to her to have the opportunity to share her love of the outdoors and knowledge with those that she's able to hike and guide through Colorado's wonders. Mindy's preferred non-profit is the Trails and Open Space Coalition.
