Ted McMahon, trip leader, is an award-winning poet and has been a practicing pediatrician in the Northwest for 40 years. His river experience includes the Colorado, Upper Main Salmon, Snake, Rogue, Klamath, Clackamas, Crooked, Wenatchee, Deschutes, North Umpqua, Owyhee, Illinois and the Middle Fork of the Salmon. A graduate of Williams College and Duke University School of Medicine, he has a deep appreciation for the complexities and mysteries of the natural world. Having worked extensively with families in distress, he understands the role of narrative, story, and myth in the healing processes both of families and of individuals. Ted views The Hero’s Path as an opportunity for each participant to expand his or her self-awareness as a member of a supportive group in an awe-inspiring natural setting. Ted's books of poetry include First Fire, 1996 and The Uses of Imperfection, 2003.
Rosanne Olson, trip leader, brings a positive, creative and problem-solving approach to everything she does, from shooting photographs for the annual report of a Fortune 500 company to creating and performing her music. Rosanne has been Ted's life-partner for 40 years. Her empathy and people-skills allow her clients to put aside their defenses before the camera—the results shine forth in her portraits. Her energy and enthusiasm always enhance our journeys—Rosanne never turns down a challenge.
