About Us
In service to our mission and values, GCY would like to acknowledge that we are located on, and visit, the ancestral homelands of the Diné (Navajo), Havasu Baaja (Havasupai), Hoputuh Shi-ni-mu (Hopi), Kvav-Kapai (Hualapai), Nde (Apache Western/Yavapai), Nuciu (Ute), and Numa (Paiute) Peoples, past and present. We recognize with gratitude the people who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial and the vibrant Native communities who make their home here today.

Expedition Director

Hometown: Hamilton, New Zealand
Year started at GCY: 2022

Cassandra Roberts

Cassandra grew up on the North Island of New Zealand – surrounded by beaches, grassy hills, and foggy mornings. A passion for adventure and travel led her to solo road trips, long-distance hikes, three years living in Japan, and eventually to the USA and the rocks and canyons of the Southwest. After nearly 15 years in Flagstaff, Cassandra almost feels like a local and can often be found hiking sections of the Arizona Trail, exploring the backcountry of the Southwest, or seeking out new adventures.

Places of the Heart

  • Waikawau Beach, New Zealand
  • Mt. Ngauruhoe, New Zealand
  • Escalante Region, Utah

My Advice to Youth

  • Find the courage to be your authentic self – we need the unique you!

My Bucket List

  • Finish hiking the Arizona Trail (200 miles left!)
  • Own a tiny home by the ocean
  • Go trekking in Bhutan and Nepal

“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean…” – John Muir
