Crystal is best described as an Amazon; she is tall, muscular, with a healthy appetite, and a real outdoors addict. In college at Northern Michigan University, Crystal was a roomate of Myleigh Harris and a close friend to Randy Clark. She worked summers as a White water rafting guide on the Ocoee River in Tennessee.
After graduation, Crystal was not interested in settling down and instead embarked on a variety of adventures, including a ride on a fishing boat from the Alaska Inner passage to Seattle. In the course of that trip, Crystal and the skipper endured a severe storm and muddled through. Another year saw her crew a sailing yacht from California to Hawaii and back. Again, there was a storm which slowed them down, although Crystal did some rigging repairs suspended from a bos'ns chair far above the deck. She spent one winter in Spearfish Lake living in a camper and tending the sled dogs of Tiffany and Josh Archer. In 1998 she hooked up with Canyon Tours and by 1999 she was a trip leader.
