Meet TC, Founder & Former Ranger
Blending nine years as a Park, Interpretive, and Wilderness Ranger, TC has a passion for helping people get outside with more context, more confidence, and more respect for the places they visit.
His work with the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and Oregon State Parks sharpened how Recreation Leader approaches conservation, recreation, stewardship, and route planning on public lands.
“I’ve been meaning to learn how to rock climb but had no idea where to start. Recreation Leader hooked it up with all the info I needed - recs on beginner routes, tips on what gear to get, and even local climbing groups to connect with! Thank you so much!”
“I was trying to plan a three-day trip to Bend with some family members who have mobility issues and wasn’t sure what the best options were for us. Found Recreation Leader on Instagram and signed up for a consulting session—SO glad I did! We got to see some amazing places and learn about all the volcanoes in the area!! Would HIGHLY recommend their service!”
“Was looking for solid backpacking recommendations for an upcoming trip to Bend. There’s just too much information out there and I didn’t really understand how the permit system worked for the Three Sisters Wilderness. Ended up booking a consultation and received exactly what I needed!!”
Fresh field notes, route ideas, and behind-the-scenes moments from the trail.
Platform pillars
Recreation Leader works best when you can move from a quick question to a real plan without losing the thread.
Ask Ranger Tati when permits, closures, conditions, or route logistics need a current answer before you commit to the drive.
Move repeat trips into a planning workspace for dates, gear, permits, reminders, and fallback options.
Join the waitlist for the small, local community layer Recreation Leader is building around getting outside together.
Pricing
Keep the public tools open. Upgrade only when live answers, saved trips, and Pathfinder workflows start removing real planning friction.
Pathfinder is still in early access, so the packaging will keep tightening as the planning layer matures.
Start with the public layer
For regular trip planning
For educators, leaders, and power users
Get Started
Start with a live answer from Ranger Tati, move repeat trips into Pathfinder, and keep the guides, maps, and community waitlist in one place.
