Bryce Willigar
BIG NATURE BRYCE
I am a homegrown Albertan and never tire of this landscape. I've always wanted to share and work in the outdoor industry. We founded Big Nature with the dream to create incredible opportunities and experiences for our guests to discover the Canadian Rockies.
When I'm not in the wilderness guiding, I actually look forward to going into the office. I love what I do. Whether it is teaching Albertan history, skiing, hiking with guests or booking future trips, I realize I have it right. If only my dog could come on every trip! I have a BA of Ecotourism and Outdoor Leadership from Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta.

I'm Cassie, the Operations Manager here at Big Nature. My primary focus revolves around ensuring the seamless operation of our adventure-filled experiences and ensuring everyone who joins a trip has a great time!
I studied Business at Mount Royal and love spending time in the mountains. My passion for travel extends beyond my work. I love exploring new places, discovering unique cultures, and seeking out hidden gems everywhere I go. These experiences fuel my creativity and inspire me to create exceptional travel adventures for our guests.
Meg Thompson
CAPTURES & SHARES OUR WORLD'S NATURAL BEAUTY
I'm Meg, Big Nature's Marketing Manager. I love nature, the outdoors and people, and I love finding ways to bring these things together. I'm a brand & social media manager, graphic designer, creative writer, illustrator and professional musician. A wearer of many hats, with a Bachelor of Communications in Information Design from Mount Royal University. When I'm not designing, writing songs or playing music around Calgary and abroad, I'm out biking and swimming in the summers and skiing in the winters!
There is no where else she'd rather be
I am happiest outside doing anything. Although hiking and biking are high on my fun list, so why not put them together? Hike-a-Bike – The act of taking one’s bike for a walk. It usually confirms I’m on a ridiculously adventurous route if I can’t ride the bike, which probably means, it’s the exact place I want to be.
If for some crazy reason I’m not playing in the wilderness, then I read travel memoirs or immerse myself in pages of memories while I document past trips. I am an author and a voracious reader able to spend entire days in a coffee shop, tucked in a corner with my journals, maps, books and an unlimited supply of coffee.
Randi Klein
Our Geologist Expert
As an Ecotourism and Outdoor Leadership graduate, I want to share my passion for outdoor education and interpretation with all age groups. I am experienced and strive to facilitate fun, immersive and safe programs.
I love exploring new places and sharing my favourites with our guests. I never tire of taking picture of glaciers and wildflowers. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a geology expert, but I love it! I'm known to laugh at my own jokes because somebody has to.
