Nate Loper

Guide • Speaker • Researcher • Writer • Photographer

I spend a lot of my life in places where geology, archaeology, history, Scripture, and stories meet—Grand Canyon river camps, museum galleries, ancient Egyptian temples, London streets, archaeological sites, classrooms, and churches.

This site brings that passion together in one place.

About Nate Invite Me to Speak

ABOUT MY WORK

Teaching through exploration.

I’m an adventure guide, speaker, researcher, writer, and photographer. Much of what I do involves traveling to incredible places shaped by history and nature, bringing people along for the journey, and helping them understand what they’re seeing.

The Grand Canyon and other national parks have been some of my greatest classrooms. Egypt, England, archaeological sites, museums, and historic places around the world have become others. I’m happiest exploring the amazing world God has given us and helping others experience, understand, and appreciate it along the way.

Photography from the places I work and explore

PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE

Thousands of photographs on Flickr

I’ve been adding photographs to Flickr for years, so it has become the best place to dig through the larger collection—Grand Canyon, travel, archaeology, museums, Egypt, London, wildlife, rivers, landscapes, and plenty of odd things I stopped to photograph along the way. Many images are available for reuse under the Creative Commons terms shown on the individual photo.
