FROM WYOMING TO ALASKA, CWC ALUMNA EXPLORES NEW HEIGHTS AT EXIT GLACIER

In a dreamland of towering mountains, glistening streams and rugged terrain, alumna Allie Lindblom spends her days leading tourists on guided hikes and ice climbs of Exit Glacier in Alaska’s Kenai Fjord National Park. Lindblom made her way to Alaska after completing the outdoor education and leadership program at Central Wyoming College, seamlessly integrating her into the hub of outdoor exploration and most grandiose sights on Earth.

Lindblom always sustained a distinct interest in the outdoors with dreams of becoming an outdoor guide but wished for a formal introduction into the field.

“I wanted to be an outdoor guide but I didn’t have the technical skill or knowledge to jump right in the field,” Lindblom said.

Luckily, CWC’s outdoor ed program on the foothills of the Wind River Range fit the bill. Offering field-based excursions, expeditions and hands-on education with a natural history and liberal arts curriculum, Lindblom’s decision to attend CWC was an easy one.

“I decided on CWC for the unique outdoor ed program with its prime location in Sinks Canyon, and passionate staff,” Lindblom said.

Throughout her two year span at CWC, Lindblom cultivated relationships with her professors finding their knowledge and support to be the most influential aspect of her studies.

“Darran Wells and Jacki Klancher are some of the best professors out there,” Lindblom said.
