Corbin Hawkins
Corbin grew up in Breckenridge, Colorado, and now calls Jackson, Wyoming, home. Living at 9,000 feet fostered his love for nature and the outdoors early on—he became an avid skier with a knack for memorizing obscure animal facts, essential skills for any naturalist. As a child, he traveled widely with his family, fostering a passion for exploration that persists.
Corbin earned a B.S. in Natural Resources Recreation and Tourism from Colorado State University. His guiding career started at Boyd Lake State Park, Colorado, as an interpreter and activities coordinator. Here he also developed a serious interest in photography, honing his skills to become an expert in nature photography and photo instruction.
At Nat Hab, he’s guided Nat Hab’s Churchill polar bear and northern lights expeditions, including braving the epic blizzard of 2017. He also leads trips in Yellowstone and co-guided Nat Hab’s groundbreaking 2019 zero waste Yellowstone adventure. Whether spotting wolves and grizzlies in his backyard or marveling at thermophilic bacteria in hot springs, Corbin’s enthusiasm for the natural world is boundless. Travel highlights include Madagascar’s lemurs and Vanuatu’s volcanic landscapes.
