Kelli O’Keefe

Hailing from South Dakota, Kelli found her way to the rivers of the West in college. Kelli has been guiding for Canyons for 15 years, and is now a full time manager. She has spent most of her career splitting her seasons with Canyons and running trips with AzRA in Grand Canyon. She has also spent time guiding for Last Descents River Expeditions in Western China. She is on the water less these days, as she continues to build her outdoor gear and clothing line called FunLuvin’ Fleecewear which is based in McCall. Kelli’s authentic smile is like none other and the word “contagious” barely gives props to her amazing energy. In her free time she loves to ski, snowboard, mountain bike, spend time with her friends and family, and live life to the fullest.
