Hi! I’m Jake Case — a naturalist, writer, and landscape photographer here in Arizona. I’ve long been passionate about the natural world, studying geography and geology during my time at Northern Arizona University.
After graduating, I went on to work as a tour guide at the Grand Canyon South Rim and a park ranger for the National Park Service at Lake Powell. More recently I worked as a tour guide at Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed Taliesin West, specializing in leading the Desert Walk Tour. I’ve also been seriously practicing landscape photography since 2009.
Now, I run Mountain Tripper Tours, providing sightseeing, photography, and hiking experiences here in Arizona. I design my tours to not only visit interesting places, but to uncover the deeper meanings hidden within the sights. It is my passion to share this with my guests, and I am incredibly lucky to do so. I hope my tours ignite that same sense of curiosity, respect, and passion.
This was our little dog Trip, and he often joined my family on our adventures. We sometimes called him “Tripper”, an inspiration for our brand name. Trip lived a long, well-loved life and passed away last year.
