Peter Grubb (Coeur d’Alene, ID)

Peter (he/him) grew up in a family of educators that camped, traveled and advocated for nature. He spent the year after high school studying French in Paris, hitchhiking across North Africa and working on a Kibbutz in Israel. He attended St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland to study the Great Books of the western world. After his sophomore year, he got a job as a whitewater rafting guide in West Virginia, an experience that changed his life.

He founded ROW Adventures in 1979 as a whitewater rafting company, but his love for history and humanity soon inspired international tours in the Mediterranean region. Today, the ROW Family of Companies offers active nature-focused and cultural trips locally and around the world with an emphasis on small groups and sustainable travel ethics.

Peter has served on the Board of Idaho Rivers United, Spokane’s Center for Justice, the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association and, guides about 40-50 days each year, on rivers, trails, and seas around the world.
