About Us
My name is Kent McCracken. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and my company. As President of Sierra Nevada Outdoors, I am delighted to introduce you to our family of professional photography and whitewater adventure web pages. Sierra Nevada Outdoors is the culmination of twenty years experience as an adventure guide, kayak instructor, photographer and videographer.

While studying Natural Resource Management at Colorado Mountain College in 1982, I enrolled in photography and outdoor education courses as a means to nurture my artistic, creative and recreational needs. After leaving Colorado Mountain College and moving to Breckenridge Colorado I began working as a ski patroller, raft guide and kayak instructor. In 1986 my first business was shooting photos and video taping rafting customers on the Arkansas River. After moving to West Virginia in 1987, I continued my interests combining guiding, kayaking, photography and videography into a modest living. My passion for adventure and photography provided a catalyst for traveling the globe shooting, skiing, biking and river running wherever the snow, water and my camera lead me. Twenty years later I moved west again and Sierra Nevada Outdoors was born.

Capturing and sharing your memories is my business. As a photographer my pictures and videos grace hundreds of home libraries and photo albums across the globe. Literally - from California to West Virginia from New Zealand to Chile. I pride myself in providing quality products both in our whitewater and photography services. I consider myself fortunate to be doing what I love to do. This shows in the quality of my work and my commitment to an exceptional product.
